Maestro Von Haught wants to present three thrilling tales of terror and misfortune, but members of the Wayward Orphans Theatre make some very silly changes to the costumes and script.

The sheriff of a dusty western town rescues Sweetness, an unusually resourceful orphan, from nasty old Mrs. Sump and her terrible orphanage.

Orphaned Ivy finds her Christmas wish fulfilled with the help of a lonely couple and a doll named Holly.

Madeline and the other orphans of the vine-covered house in Paris spend Easter at the White House visiting with the President's daughter.

When Lord Cucuface, head of Madeline's school, takes a telescope from the attic during a surprise inspection, its ghostly owner convinces Madeline to help get it back, with help from neighbor Pepito and her fellow orphans.

"The Aldens are spending sunny days at the shore and summer nights in a mobile home righ on the beach! One morning, Benny finds a gold necklace in the sand. Soon a search for its owner begins, and a trail of clues leads the children to Tower House. What will the Boxcar Children find in the strange old mansion?"--P. [4] of cover.

The Boxcar children uncover a mystery when they compete in several contests at the county fair.

"Henry, Jesse, Violet, and Benny Alden take a trip down the Mississippi River and stay in a haunted cabin! At least it seems haunted--there are spooky phone calls, flickering lights, and strange shadows. Is there a ghost in the cabin? Join the Boxcar Children in their graphic novel adventure as they solve the mystery of the haunted cabin!"--Back cover.

The Alden children are thrilled when a famous orchestra comes to their town to perform, and when an original Mozart score turns up missing, they solve the mystery of its disappearance.

When a professional hockey player comes to Greenfield with plans to build an ice skating rink, the Alden children suspect that someone in town wants to stop the project.
