5.0 out of 5 stars The Soccer Mystery Review, January 14, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Soccer Mystery (Boxcar Children Mysteries) (Hardcover)

I read The Soccer Mystery. I thought this book was really great because I really like soccer and mysteries, and I've never read a book from The Box Car Children. I recommend that kids under 7th grade should read this book because this is a really great book! If you read this book you will probably enjoy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, this was a good book, April 1, 2000

By A Customer

This book was about the Aldens and Soo Lee playing on a soccer team. Like a usual Boxcar book, mysterious things start to happen. This was a pretty good book, but it could have had a better ending, that's why I only gave this chapter book 4 stars. By the way, this book has 116 pages, but it has fairly big print.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought it was good!, October 9, 2004
