The Alden children were searching for a home - and found a life of adventure! While on a trip to Sleepy Hollow, NY, the Boxcar Children encounter what seems to be a real "headless horseman"! Beloved by generations of families, this illustrated chapter book series is full of wholesome excitement, danger, and mystery. The Aldens visit the upstate New York town where the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was set and discover a headless horseman mystery all their own! Their friend's ghost tour business is threatened by a spooky figure on horseback who is throwing gory pumpkins. Who-or what-is haunting Sleepy Hollow
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.
