Boxcar Children - Mystery of the Hidden Painting

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.

The Alden necklace (a kids review)

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.

Excellent!

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!
