Boxcar Children Graphic Novels The Yellow House Mystery


Boxcar Children Graphic Novels The Yellow House Mystery
based on Gertrude Chandler Warner's work
adapted by Rob M. Worley
illustrated by Mike Dubisch

children's fiction, ages 7-10
can be enjoyed by older readers as well

This is a Scooby Doo - type book based on the characters The Boxcar Children that were popular two or three generations ago. Set in the days before cell phones and the internet, the four Alden children have to go by boat to an isolated place in Maine to deliver a message and solve a mystery! The story comes complete with secret panels and everything.
This book is simplistic, wholesome, and safe. Conservative parents should approve.

There are at least two more books in the series:
Blue Bay Mystery
Surprise Island
