About this ebook
The Aldens find a castaway on a South Sea island. How did he get there and who is he?
Gertrude C. Warner
Gertrude Chandler Warner (1890–1979) was an American author of children’s books, most notably the nineteen original titles in the Boxcar Children Mysteries series. Warner was raised in Putnam, Connecticut, across the street from a railroad station, which later inspired her to write about children living in a boxcar. In 1918, she began what would become a thirty-two-year career teaching first and third grade at the Israel Putnam School. She died in Putnam on August 30, 1979, when she was eighty-nine years old. But the Boxcar Children live on: To this day, talented authors contribute new stories to the series, which now includes over one hundred twenty books.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Better than the last few in the series, in that it had an actual mystery put forth in a coherent plot. Also, the setting was not a uranium mine. That also helped. I am regretting that I started reading this series, however, as I'm apparently doomed to read it from now on FOREVER. Should have waited until they discovered it on their own.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Reason for Reading: I am working my way through the original 19 books. This is also from the Random Bookshelf I am reading from.Returning to the typical theme of these books, the mystery involves finding out the identity of a mystery person. This time it is a little different though as the children can't find the person but know he is there. Grandfather takes the children plus Ben's friend Mike, again, to the South Seas to a desert island for a vacation. Lars is their guide and completes the group. While having fun living on a deserted island the group find clues that there is someone else on the island and eventually meet a castaway boy. The tale he has to tell them is adventurous and exciting. This is a fun book in the series. It holds true to form and gives what is expected from the series by now. Grandfather's inclusion stunts the children's style a bit but they do get some time to go off on their own. Children will enjoy the excitement of the castaway boy and his experiences, but I think the story would have been better served if he had been introduced earlier as we don't get enough time with him. Overall, a good entry in the series.
