not one of the stronger mysteries and the adult in me wasn’t too keen about the lack of supervision and care the monkeys were receiving at the zoo.

This was one of the better books I have read in this series it was fast-paced, and the story kept you in the whole time. It was cute to see how the monkey got out to take little knick knacks to save for himself later. I also liked seeing them interact with more of their students instead of adults.

Book 127 of the Boxcar Children. ​This one was a complete snarl with a strong theme that others fortunate situation does not make it okay to take from them. This mystery is fairly innocent and although there is a bad guy, it isn’t as bad as a jewel thief or dog napper like some of the recent ones. Good read with a strong message.

A really fun mystery, a little complicated towards the end. My favorite part was when the monkey escaped from its cage multiple times. 9yo

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.

The kids go on a field trip to the zoo. While there a camera goes missing and they have to figure out what happens and avoid the thieving monkey!

I was so excited to pick up another Boxcar Children book. I got to read it to my younger sister. I remembered how much I fell in love with the series when I was younger. It made me feel like a little kid again.

A particularly inane entry in the series.

[Caitlyn Weir]

This book shares a story of compelling detective work and the smarts behind a family who can save the day by finding anything they put their minds to.
