This review is from: The Mystery of the Mixed-up Zoo (The Boxcar Children, No. 26) (Paperback)

I love mystery books and this book was the one that I liked best.
This book also tells about how important animals are.
This is a story about the Alden kids ,who visit their grandfather's friend, Edward, who owns a zoo. Strage things happen at the zoo!!!! There are 2 suspects. Helen Brook, who wants to close the zoo and Mac Treacher, who owns a book store.
The Alden kids try to solve the mystery of the zoo and I'm pretty sure that you will love this book.

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mystery of the Mixed-up Zoo (The Boxcar Children, No. 26) (Paperback)

I really liked reading this book because I like animals and mysteries... I know you would love this book, too! It's about the Alden kids that visit a friend who owns a zoo. Strange things happen at the zoo, including that the electricity wires were cut, and Benny's favorite animal was kidnapped! It's up to the boxcar kids to solve the mystery... who is trying to ruin the zoo? There are two eccentic suspects... so which one did the crime? Or did someone else do it
