Bookroo's summary
The Alden siblings stumble upon a peculiar cemetery superstition: gifts bring good luck, but neglect brings misfortune. Convinced there's more than meets the eye, they embark on a quest to unravel the truth behind this eerie tradition. What secrets lie buried in Greenfield Cemetery, and will their curiosity lead to unexpected discoveries? Join the Boxcar Children as they delve into a mystery where the past and present collide, challenging their beliefs and courage.
From the publisher
One stormy afternoon, the Aldens take a shortcut through the Greenfield Cemetery and discover a strange local superstition! According to legend, it’s good luck to leave presents in a certain spot in the cemetery–and bad luck to anyone who doesn’t. But since there’s no such thing as ghosts, there must be a reason for this weird tradition. The Boxcar Children are determined to find out what it is.
