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
