5.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining read and a good elementary level mystery., July 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Black Pearl Mystery (Boxcar Children Mysteries) (Paperback)

I have not read many Boxcar Children books but I found this one to be very interesting. The mystery was fairly well thought out and it had a satisfying ending. The characters aren't too complex, but what can you expect from a kids' book. I would recommend it to young readers that enjoy a good mystery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspense with a great book, September 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Black Pearl Mystery (Boxcar Children Mysteries) (Paperback)

The Boxcar children solved many a mystery but can they save their cousins' pineapple farm from becoming bankrupt. Does this also have something to do with the Black Pearl that everybody is afraid to mention?
