Synopsis

The Aldens are visiting a small town known for its fall festival, and while Grandfather is off taking in the fall colors, the children try out the town’s newest attraction―a Halloween escape room! The Aldens love solving the puzzles to get out of the room, and they don’t mind the spooky theme. The problem is, someone―or something―is making things downright scary for other customers!

About this title

About the Author

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car—just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books—a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children® series has more than one hundred books.

Anthony VanArsdale was born and raised near the beaches of south Alabama and to this day enjoys the warm southern temperatures of the Gulf Coast. He has worked as a professional illustrator since 2004, combining traditional and digital media to create illustrations with a "stylized realism." Among his favorite subjects to paint are animals, people, and illustrations that reflect the natural setting of his home.
