The Aldens are visiting a real dinosaur dig in Montana, in an area full of fossils and caves! But the bones of a rare dinosaur have gone missing, and when the children begin to search for clues they hear strange noises in the caves and discover mysterious tracks! Why are bones disappearing? And could there be a real-life dinosaur on the loose?

Author Notes

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car--just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books--a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children® series has more than one hundred books.

Horn Book Review

The four Alden children solve tame mysteries at a dinosaur dig in Montana (Bones) and at an audition for an American Idolesque television talent show (Pop Idol). With contrived plots and slight character development dependent on familiarity with the long-running franchise, these latest volumes are unlikely to make converts. [Review covers these Boxcar Children Mysteries titles: The Mystery of the Missing Pop Idol and The Mystery of the Stolen Dinosaur Bones.] (c) Copyright 2016.
