The Boxcar Children #48 The Mystery Bookstore created by Gertrude Chandler Warner illustrated by Charles Tang

The Alden children are visiting New Orleans where their grandfather purchases a bookstore for his friend Olivia Chase.  The children help clean up the store in preparation for a book sale.  While there a part of a fairy tale set is stolen.  The Boxcar children pull together their resources to find the culprit.
This book was difficult for me to read aloud to my seven year old.   I found it not very exciting.  My son, however, liked it!!
I highly recommend the Boxcar series by Ms. Warner.  She wrote up through #19.  Numbers after that are written by various people.  I tell the difference between the writing!
