1.0 out of 5 stars The Absent Plot Mystery, September 11, 2000
By 
J. ALEXANDER "jalex" (CHICAGO, ILLINOIS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Windy City Mystery (Boxcar Children Mystery & Activities Specials #10) (Boxcar Children Special) (Paperback)
This book was a terrible disappointment. It was my son's first "Chapter Book" and almost put him off reading forever. There is no plot, the premise is absurd and one cannot tell one character from another as they are so poorly developed. It was required summer reading for his school and I thought we'd never get through it.

I had heard this was a wonderful series; perhaps we just chose the worst of the lot.
