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?
