Embark on an exciting journey with the Boxcar Children in this Step 2 leveled reader, as they spend a summer on their aunt's ranch, unraveling mysteries along the way. Perfect for early readers learning to read simple sentences.

The Aldens spend the summer on their aunt's ranch! The ranch is a beautiful place, but there are some unusual things happening behind the scenes.

Critical Reviews

"Though these homages to ­Warner's old stories may appeal to the parents of new readers more than the readers themselves, the books still serve as fun mysteries on a ­beginner reading level." --School Library Journal
