Summer Camp Mystery

Are some campers so desperate to win the Olympics that they are willing to cheat? Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Bennie Alden, the Boxcar Children, arrive at Camp Seagull to begin a new week of making friends and participating in the annual camp Olympics. But someone is determined that they won't win! Can they find out who before the Olympics is ruined for everyone? The Boxcar Children Series was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner, a teacher, when she realized that there were few, if any, books for children that were both easy and fun to read. She drew on her experiences in writing the mysteries. As a child she had spent hours watching trains near her home and often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car. In each story, she chose a special setting and introduced unusual or eccentric characters who liked the unpredictable, stressing the Aldens' independence and resourcefulness. Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Massachusetts until her death in 1979. Reader Aimee Lilly has been involved in the broadcasting and radio drama field since 1989. She has read audiobooks by many best-selling authors, including Elizabeth George, Janette Oke, and Francine Rivers. She portrayed Hattie Durham in the Dramatic Audio Version of the best-selling series Left Behind.
