Bookroo's summary
In New York City, the Alden siblings find more than sightseeing. Their hotel becomes a hub of chaos with messy rooms, missing phones, and a purple-dyed pool. As pranks escalate, the Boxcar Children must unravel the mystery before it spirals out of control. Can they catch the prankster in time?
From the publisher
The Aldens can’t wait to go sightseeing in New York City, but they don’t have to look beyond their hotel to find a mystery. Messy rooms and missing phones are just the start of the problem. When someone dyes the pool purple, the Boxcar Children have to find the culprit before the pranks go too far.
