The Boxcar Children; Surprise Island; The Yellow House; Mystery Ranch

Introduce a new generation of readers to the Boxcar Children® chapter books with this classic boxed set, featuring the first four books in the series. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden are four brave siblings who were searching for a home when they discovered a life of mystery and adventure!

This boxed set includes the following titles:
#1 The Boxcar Children: When four orphaned children find an abandoned boxcar in the woods, they decide to call it home—and become the Boxcar Children!
#2 Surprise Island: As the Alden children explore their summer home, they realize there is more to the island—and to a new friend—than meets the eye.
#3 The Yellow House Mystery: A long-lost clue leads the Alden children to a mysterious old house while on summer vacation.
#4 Mystery Ranch:
The Alden children make a discovery that leads them to investigate a mystery involving their family ranch.

What started as a single story about the Alden Children has delighted readers for generations and sold more than 80 million books worldwide. Featuring timeless adventures, mystery, and classic illustrations, The Boxcar Children® series continues to inspire children to learn, question, imagine, and grow.


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.
