This book is so neat! It is a great mystery story and is fun to read. Since this book is part of a series, you might expect all the books to be boring, right? Wrong, some are actually really good! I think this is the best of the series that I have read so far! Read this, you won't forget it!

I think this book is about 4 kids that go up into their grandfathers attic to look for things to wear on their grandfathers birthday. When they find out that somebody stole Mr. Alden's wife's necklace. My favorite part of the story was when the adventure began. It was very exciting. I think ages 7 and up should read this book.

my daughter loved this book at school she wanted for home. it was on time and was in good shape

The Boxcar Children were one of my favorite series of books when I was young. As a grandma, I have purchsed these books to read to my grandson which I started in the Spring of 2008. He was a 1st grader at the time and he loves them too. We have just finished this book and it is so much fun seeing how he tries to figure out the mystery as we go along. He will not let his parents read these books to him - only his grandma or grandpa! He even said that someday his dad will read them to his grandchildren and then someday he (grandson) will read them to his grandchildren! It is a great bonding and sharing time with him.

When the Boxcar Childre want to plan a party for Grandfather they go to the attic and pick out some clothes. While they are searching Jessie finds a picture of their Grandmother and shows it to Grandfather. He says the necklace she was wearing got lost the day after their wedding when she was helping the Caters clean up. The Boxcar Children see a picture of a lady with the necklace on in the newspaper, that lives where Aunt Jane lives.They go to Aunt Jane's house and ask some questions to different people.When they hed back home the day of Mr. Alden's Party Mrs. Newton comes to their house(one of the people they talked to)with the necklace. She told them the story of how she got it she said that her son had been a caterer at Mr. Alden's wedding and stole the Necklace.
