Bookroo's summary
The Alden siblings embark on a seaside adventure, staying in a lighthouse on the New England coast. As night falls, strange occurrences unfold—a mysterious woman roams, and their dog, Watch, senses danger. With an unfriendly boy adding to the intrigue, can the Boxcar Children unravel the lighthouse's secrets? Dive into a tale of mystery and suspense that challenges the siblings to illuminate the truth.
From the publisher
