The Hockey Mystery

Someone is trying to sabotage the new skating rink! Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Bennie Alden once lived in a boxcar, but now live with their grandfather in Greenfield. They've become friends with Kevin Reynolds, their favorite hockey star. He wants to build an ice rink in Greenfield, and begin a girls' hockey team, with Jessie skating and Henry helping coach the team. But now, equipment is missing, and someone is trying to ruin plans for the rink. The Boxcar Children must help their new friend solve this mystery! 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 like 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.
