Description
Join Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny again in a new installment of the beloved Boxcar Children adventure series. This time, the children are enlisted by a secret society to return world artifacts to their rightful places. As the children embark on their journey around the globe, they encounter and learn a bit about the cultures and history of the countries they enter. Relying on their own resourcefulness, the young detectives work as a team to solve the mysteries surrounding the artifacts - and to evade the thieves that would block the safe return of the national treasures! The children's politeness, values, and basic personalities have remained the same as in the original series; however, this series does have some modern updates. For instance, all the characters contribute equally to solving the mysteries regardless of age or gender, and (in addition to libraries) the children utilize technology such as smart phones, laptops, and FaceTime for research and communication. Additionally, when advanced concepts, words, or historical facts are encountered, the older siblings clearly explain them to their younger siblings, making this series approachable for a younger audience. The box set includes volumes 1-5, each softcover and about 140 pgs. Originally created by Gertrude Warner, this installment is written by Dee Garretson and JM Lee. ~ Janine
