The Boxcar Children Great Adventure #5

by Dee Garretson, Aimee Lilly (Narrator)

In this all-new very special miniseries, the Aldens have been recruited by a secret society to return lost artifacts and treasures to their rightful locations all around the world! The final leg of the Aldens' journey brings them to South America and to the Salt Flats in northern Argentina. But when they hit a dead end, they realize someone has tricked them in order to delay their plans! Returning to Buenos Aires, the Aldens connect with the Silvertons and are able to get back on track. But it is clear their rivals are closer than ever. The Aldens' final artifact is their most delicate yet a rare orange orchid they must return to Machu Picchu in Peru. With the stakes higher than ever, the Aldens make a shocking discovery about the Silvertons and the Argents. Will the Boxcar Children be able to use what they've learned to return the final Reddimus artifact intact?"

The final book in this series and the fifth book in my book club with my nephew. Seriously the most wholesome educational series ever. To the point that it cracked me up. I love that he loves them so much.

"I like the book because they finally got the robbers to decide on what's right instead of stealing. In the book the children have to go through a bunch of obstacles including a dangerous run throughout salt flats." -Cadee, age 10

(5☆ Would recommend & would read again)
I loved the Boxcar Children books as a kid. I really enjoyed reading this book & I like how it is a part of a mini series. The storyline is great & it has great a great sense of adventure & suspense. Would recommend.

What a schmaltzy ending. I knew it would have to be, but I'm still kind of bummed about it. Investing in five books with someone as a villain only to have them magically go good in one conversation is... ugh.

This tied up nicely. I loved the twist ending that Anna was actually related to Trudy and Tricia.

I remember the Boxcar Children books from my childhood. I thought it would be nice to revisit. I didn't realize they had been updated...would have preferred the original.

These four kids were an integral part of my childhood

[Tarissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

The great adventure draws to a close as the Boxcar Children finish the race to deposit all seven of their artifacts around the globe. While thwarting thieves and spies, to boot!

These kids show ingenuity, creative thinking, and good puzzle-solving skills. Excellent role models for young kids.
