The Boxcar Children Series which first started in 1942 has been continued by the publisher and the Castle Mystery is among the latest installments in this series.
The Boxcar Children, who were given this group name because they, Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny, like the original author, Gertrude Chandler Warner, are fond of watching trains go by and imagining what it would be like to live in a caboose, have joined their grandfather as he visits a friend who is in the process of turning a castle into a museum.
After their arrival at the castle the children involve themselves in being helpful but they find themselves baffled by disappearing keys and by music that emanates from deserted castle tower areas.
This adventure is presented in a graphic novel format, highly entertaining and fun to read seems to be made especially for tweens when they need something to read that is light in nature but also well executed with wonderful graphics and well written text.
