The Boxcar Children are going to summer camp and are looking forward to a week of new friends, exciting activities, and, most of all, the annual camp Olympics. As soon as camp begins, everything begins to go wrong for the Aldens–they lose their luggage, the camp flag disappears from Henry’s cabin, and campers on the other team use one of Jessie’s ideas to score points for themselves. Are some campers so desperate to win the Olympics that they are willing to cheat?
GERTRUDE CHANDLER WARNER was born in 1890 in Putnam, Connecticut, where she later taught school. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had often imagined how delightful it would be to live in a caboose or freight car. Encouraged by the book’s success, she went on to write eighteen more stories about the Alden children.
