When the Boxcar Children visit a neighbor's house, a mysterious old wedding photo and a riddle lead them on a "spy game" devised long ago by the original owner of the house. When the children hunt for clues they discover amazing things, like a stone path whose pieces fit together into a jigsaw puzzle! But soon the children begin to suspect that there's a mystery inside the mystery. They read about a similar puzzle in one of their new Detective Club books, and they meet a woman who looks eerily like the bride in the old wedding photo. Just who is behind this spy game?
Editorial : From School Library Journal Grade 2-4–Bennie, Jessie, Violet, and Henry Alden are helping a neighbor remove some slippery stones when they discover a strange inscription. The mystery-solving siblings jump at the chance for another adventure and discover right away that Amanda has a secret of her own. They don't press her to reveal it and instead pursue additional clues. Hoping to find the mysterious gold mentioned on the stone, the busy sleuths unearth even more questions. Everything seems to be coming together when they overhear conversations that lead the children to believe that Amanda's friends are trying to steal the treasure from her. Red herrings abound, which are sure to keep readers interested and on their toes. The story is wrapped up neatly, with a few surprises. A few full-page drawings are scattered throughout. A quick read, with special appeal for reluctant readers.–Julie Shatterly, South County Regional Library, Charlotte, NCCopyright © Reed Busin

That was the pivotal moment that ultimately lead me here. As someone else mentioned, there is really not much in this book at anyone who has any trucking experience will benefit from. This series is excellent. A young woman whose family was betrayed and killed battles for life with honor and dignity in the political mine field of her world. This book was very good , I really enjoyed it . Thank you!. Love Mother Goose, hate Dr. Great coloring book with nice quality. Ethan's rigid control could have stolen emotional intensity from his relationship with Charlie, if Charlie didn't challenge his control so thoroughly. Beginning with the unnamed but still r
