This review is from: Mystery in the Sand (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #16) (Paperback)

This book was about four kids Jessie, Benny, and Violiet . Those four kids like mysteries. One day Benny finds a locket and decides to find the out who it belongs to. I thought this mystery was great . I think mysteries are fun to solve. Mysteries make kids want to read and it makes kids want to read and it makes it fun becase it is always exiting to know whats going to happen next. .

My daughter has several Boxcar Children books and didn't have #16. Now her collection, written by Gertrude Warner is complete. She's in the accelerated reading program in her class and whenever she reads a book, which is usually one of the Boxcar Children, she takes a comprehension and vocabulary quiz.

In this episode, Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny are in Florida learning about the sea life. Then someone starts stealing the valubable coral. Can the boxcar children find the culprit with only a clue from the sand?
