Embark on an exciting journey with the Boxcar Children in this Step 2 leveled reader as they investigate a mysterious figure in the night! Perfect for early readers learning to read simple sentences. The Alden siblings are on their way home! When the children notice an old lighthouse along the drive, they get a great idea--to have a picnic, of course! But even better than a picnic, apparently you can stay in the old lighthouse! The Aldens are so excited to stay in such a cool house but they keep noticing some strange things at night. Could there be more to the lighthouse than they thought? Adapted from Gertrude Chandler Warner's The Lighthouse Mystery chapter book, this early reader allows children to start reading with a Boxcar Children classic.

Author Notes:Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in Putnam, Connecticut on April 16, 1890. Due to her poor health, she never finished high school and studied with a tutor. During World War I, a shortage of teachers prompted the local school board to hire her to teach first grade, a position she held for over 30 years. She wrote the first Boxcar book in 1924, while home recuperating from an illness, but the version most people are familiar with was originally published in 1942. The Alden children became so popular that she wrote 19 adventures about them including Surprise Island, Mystery Ranch, and Snowbound Mystery. She died at age 89 August 29, 1979, but the Boxcar Children are still being written about by a team of writers faithful to her vision.
