Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As the book opens, Mrs. McGregor is not feeling like herself. So the Alden children, Henry, Jessie, Violet & Benny tried to cheer her up. Mrs, McGregor's child home might be sold, which I guess it's supposed to be an inn. Mrs. McGregor's sister lives there. In fact, Mrs. McGregor had a mystery lady visited her at her house when she was a child. But Mrs. McGregor nevered find out her name.The children's grandfather droves them and Mrs. McGregor to her house. Mrs. McGregor's sister doesn't believe that there is a treasure in the house. Her name is Madeline. Benny had remembered in the car that he forgot a book called The Alphabet Mystery by his favorite author Amelia Quigley Adams. It turns out that Mrs. McGregor was aslo a Amelia Quigley Adams fan. And has her books at the crooked house (Mrs. McGregor's house). There is a guest that is staying there too but she isn't very nice. But the Alden children didn't think they would find a mystery. This is a must read for Boxcar Children fans.

This is a great book and you will love it. It is very clever, and I feel that it is one of Gertrude Chandler Wilder's best works.
