The Aldens notice that someone is keeping a close eye on their new neighbors. Can they figure out why?

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny aren't expecting a mystery when they offer to show their new neighbors around Greenfield. But when they uncover a series of coded messages hidden in historical documents, they realize they might still have a lot to learn about their hometown's past. The situation gets even more suspicious when the Aldens realize someone is trying to stop them from discovering the truth. Will they be able to crack the code and uncover Greenfield's true history before the evidence is lost forever?

About the Author

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.

Anthony VanArsdale was born and raised near the beaches of south Alabama and to this day enjoys the warm southern temperatures of the Gulf Coast. He has worked as a professional illustrator since 2004, combining traditional and digital media to create illustrations with a "stylized realism." Among his favorite subjects to paint are animals, people, and illustrations that reflect the natural setting of his home.
