Bookroo's summary

At Goldwin University, the Aldens face a mystery as stone gargoyles seemingly come to life to protect an old library. As the creatures appear in unexpected places, fear spreads. The Boxcar Children suspect there's more to the story and are determined to uncover the truth before the library is lost forever. What secrets do these ancient guardians hold?

From the publisher

The Aldens visit Goldwin University, where Grandfather attended college. The old library is about to be torn down. But legend says the stone gargoyles guarding the roof of the old building will do anything to protect it–even fly. When the creatures begin appearing outside the windows, people are terrified. But the Boxcar Children think there is another reason the gargoyles are turning up in places they shouldn’t. And they’re determined to figure it out.
