The Mystery in Washington, D.C. — Gertrude Chandler Warner

One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. No one knew them. No one knew where they had come from.

A super-special mystery for the Boxcar Children!

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny used to live alone in a boxcar. Now they have a home with their grandfather, and are going on a trip to Washington, DC.

The Boxcar Children visit lots of interesting places, like the Capitol Building, the Washington Monument, and the Air and Space Museum. But when things start disappearing from their hotel, and they realize they are being followed, the children know there's a mystery in the capital... and it's up to them to solve it!
