Gertrude Chandler Warner, Aimee Lilly
The Ghost Ship Mystery
Is the old ship really haunted, or is there a lot more to this mystery? Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are spending some time in a New England fishing village when they learn of an old legend about a ship that sank just off the coast. No one knows what really happened to the ship, and the townspeople say it reappears on dark, stormy nights. Can the children find out the truth about the Ghost ship? The Boxcar Children Series was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner, a teacher, when she realized that there were few, if any, books for children that were both easy and fun to read. She drew on her experiences in writing the mysteries. As a child she had spent hours watching trains near her home and often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car. In each story, she chose a special setting and introduced unusual or eccentric characters who liked the unpredictable, stressing the Aldens' independence and resourcefulness. Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Massachusetts until her death in 1979. Reader Aimee Lilly has been involved in the broadcasting and radio drama field since 1989. She has read audiobooks by many best-selling authors, including Elizabeth George, Janette Oke and Francine Rivers. She portrayed Hattie Durham in the Dramatic Audio Version of the best-selling series Left Behind.
