The Boxcar Children: The Return of the Graveyard Ghost




The Boxcar Children: The Return of the Graveyard Ghost by Gertrude Chandler Warner 

Grades 2-5.

A white lily appeared just when lightning struck was it the LaFonte ghost?  The Alden children want to prove to the town of Greenfield that ghosts don’t exist.  Twelve-year-old Jessie Alden along with her siblings Benny, ten-year-old sister Violet, and fourteen-year-old Henry are out to investigate who is tricking the residents of Greenfield into leaving gifts at the cemetery in hopes of having a year of good luck.  There are many suspects but one mysterious person with a dark hooded jacket keeps lurking in the cemetery or is it the LaFonte ghost!  This was a surprisingly very engaging story.  For students who are looking for a good mystery this will satisfy them with plenty of clues and suspicious characters.  It has a very surprising ending.  This is a fun book for students who are looking for a chapter book that will keep them reading all the way till the end.
