It was an Okay reading and re-reading.
Synopsis: "The Boxcar Children have a chance to be in a real play - The Wizard of Oz! Jessie is chosen for the Cowardly Lion. Benny will play a munchkin. Even Watch has a part and all the Aldens are helping with the show. Then mysterious things begin to happen. Someone makes a threatening phone call and a costume is destroyed. Maybe the show won't go on - unless the Boxcar Children can solve the mystery before opening night!"

Book 43 of the Boxcar Children. This was a good example of how a mystery does not have to be flashy to be good. This book is in someways a nod to Phantom of the Opera. Someone is trying to ruin play and the Alden children are on the case. This was a good mystery, not in my top favorites but close. I can see how these books influenced a generation. ​

I loved these books as a kid & I'm really enjoying reading through the series again. I liked the mystery & the suspense. I like how there is more than one possible suspect, who each have reasonable motive. Would recommend.

[Emylly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great beginning, mysterious middle, ending was a little over done

[Stephanie Duerr · Rating 3 out of 5]

this was fun. my favorite part was the audiobook had sound effects

[Angela · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book left a lot of conflicting and scattered clues, none of which added up to solving the mystery.

My daughter preferred the Vampire's Vacation, as that book left definite clues that added up to solving the mystery rather than pointing the reader in different directions.

This was one left a lot to be desired. There were a lot if conflicting clues and loose ends that were never really brought together in the end. My 4 year old did still enjoy it.

One of my favorite childhood series. I read over a hundred of them. The first 50 or so were in order; after that I read whatever book I could get my hands on :)
