Summary
The Aldens are spending their first week of summer at Camp Quest in Colorado. The children are excited to learn about fossil hunting and paleontology from renowned scientist Dr. Iris Perez. But strange events at the camp make them wonder if the legends of a bigfoot-like creature roaming the valley might be more fact than fiction. Can the Aldens help Dr. Iris figure out who-or what-is causing such a stir? The Aldens are spending their first week of summer at Camp Quest in Colorado. The children are excited to learn about fossil hunting and paleontology from renowned scientist Dr. Iris Perez. But strange events at the camp make them wonder if the legends of a bigfoot-like creature roaming the valley might be more fact than fiction. Can the Aldens help Dr. Iris figure out who-or what-is causing such a stir? 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
