The Alden children were searching for a home-and found a life of adventure! The kids are celebrating Dia De Los Muertos when mysterious events begin to jeopardize their celebration. Beloved by generations of families, this illustrated chapter book series is full of wholesome excitement, danger, and mystery. The Aldens are visiting friends for a big Dia de los Muertos celebration. The kids love learning about the holiday and helping out-that is until mysterious events threaten to ruin everyone's preparations. Can the Aldens figure out what's going on and help their friends save the celebration
Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car-just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books-a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children series has more than one hundred books.
