I Really Want to Visit This Castle!

This is a fun story! The Boxcar Children is one of my favorite series. The Alden children are very industrious and know how to do most anything, and if not, they are more than willing to learn. Polite, adventurous and always ready for a mystery, this book finds the family helping with the restoration of an old castle. It begins with a light in a tower where there shouldn't be a light. Add in some grumpy adults who won't give the children the credit they deserve. The kids work hard every day sorting through antiques, books and removing dust covers, but they still have time to explore the castle and solve the mystery of a missing musical instrument. The description of the castle and all of the passages and secret rooms is excellent. I believe this is the last book in the series.

The 2nd Best Book I Ever Read

I think this is a really good book.Its about the adlens coming home from a trip,then they were going to Piclos Pizza to see there friends that work there, and eat pizza.There big oven was the secret to there pizza but it don't work.Now the adlens wanted to help, so Mr.Adlen let them stay there for a few weeks.They used the little ovens up-stairs, so they made little pizzas.The repair man was coming to fix the big one but he never came, so they kept making little pizzas.Then the picloss pizza was in bissnes again and the oven was fixed.

Great mystery

The Pizza Mystery is one of my favorite Boxcar Children books. The Aldens come to help their old friends, Mrs. and Mr. Piccolo, at their pizza parlor. The kids come up with all sorts of creative ideas, like mini pizzas and a delivery service. But lots of strange things are going on. Someone makes coupons for kids to get free sodas. The power goes out. Is someone trying to ruin the Piccolo's buisness? The Boxcar Children are determined to find out!

Harolds Review for The Castle Mystery

Besides The Boxcar Children, The Castle Mytery was the best Boxcar Children mystery I have ever read. And I have read 34 Boxcar Children Mysterys. Anyone who loves The Boxcar Children just has to own this. Its great. Get it as soon as you can. It is so good you will read it in 2 days! Kids from age 8 to 12 just have to read this and own it.

This is one of the best Boxcar Children Mysteries

We (Casey & Sarah) think this is a cool book. They made you think that it was someone else all along. The castle was a neat place with lots of hidden things. (We don't want to spoil it for you). But it is worth reading so that you can find out about the Drummond violin.
