Summer vacation on an almost private island gives the Aldens a challenge. Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny used to live alone in a boxcar. Now they have a home with their grandfather and are spending the summer on their own private island. There is a mysterious stranger on the island with a secret--but that's not the only surprise in store for the Boxcar Children.

The Aldens search for carousel horses that have disappeared from an amusement park.

The Boxcar children have dinner at a Chinese restaurant and get a handwritten riddle in a fortune cookie! One riddle leads to another, and the children wonder who is leaving them the cookie clues, and why?

The Aldens, while testing the latest version of their favorite computer game, are surprised to find messages directed specifically at them.

The Aldens investigate when the arrival of several suspicious characters in Greenfield coincides with a mystery involving a popular boy actor.

Grandpa Alden and the Alden children encounter danger, excitement, adventure, and mystery in a quiet island fishing village.

The Boxcar children, while participating in the "Teddy bear festival," help recover a valuable teddy bear that disappeared from the toy hospital.

The Alden children are excited to see their friend, Mike, while visiting their aunt, but when Mike is blamed for burning his house down, the siblings want to help Mike clear his name.

While canoeing and backpacking near Timberwolf Lake, the Aldens receive strange warnings to stay away from the area and stumble upon clues to a missing cache of stolen coins.

The Alden children are staying at the New England farmhouse where their grandfather grew up. There are many stories and legends about the old farm, and there's a woodshed near the house that holds a surprising secret... a secret that dates all the way back to the Revolutionary War!
