Mike's Mystery (Boxcar Children, No 5) by Gertrude Chandler Warner
Reader Reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Go Mike, September 28, 2002 Reviewer: Mary Marnie Brown-Hair-Blonde from hanging over Carl's shoulder This, along with The Woodshed Mystery, was my favourite book (not just Boxcar Children, but books in general) for some time. It brings back to life the definite promise of adventure from the third book that slumbered through the fourth, and is one of the most well-laid-out and realistic of the series. At least I've always thought so. :) We met Mike in "Surprise Island", and here he is back again in the little town that has sprung up around the Aldens' uranium mines. But when his house burns down suspiciously, a mystery follows. I think much of the reason I liked this so much was because the two youngest children, Benny and Mike, were really the main ones solving the mystery, with a bit of help here and there from the elder ones. Definitely give your children this book. I know they will love it.
