The Mystery at Snowflake Inn

The Alden children were searching for a home – and found a life of adventure! Beloved by generations of families, this illustrated chapter book series is full of wholesome excitement, danger, and mystery.

Grandfather is taking everyone on a special holiday trip to an old-fashioned New England inn. The Aldens have fun playing in the snow, ice-skating, and working puzzles. Then mysterious things start to happen at the inn, and the owner worries he'll have to shut down. Can the Boxcar Children find the culprit, or will their winter vacation be cut short?
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.
