The Aldens and their new cousin, Soo Lee, spend a week at Camp Coral in Key West, Florida. On a small island nearby, the children find that someone has destroyed a coral bed. Who would have done such a terrible--and illegal--thing? The Boxcar Children set out to find the culprit.

Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in 1890 in Putnam, Connecticut, where she taught school and 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.
While visiting the Florida Keys, the Aldens encounter suspicious characters, strange incidents at night, and a plot to steal valuable coral.
