Renting a lighthouse is unusual, but even more so is an unfriendly boy's peculiar behavior.


You know what's even more unusual? Traveling home from [b:The Woodshed Mystery|363287|The Woodshed Mystery (The Boxcar Children, #7)|Gertrude Chandler Warner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1352526391l/363287._SX50_.jpg|3010035], seeing a lighthouse for sale on the side of the road and deciding that your grandfather should buy it. And knowing that he totally could[^wat].

Luckily (?), it's already been sold, so instead they just rent it. And of course find a mystery in the night which even to my five year old wasn't that much of a surprise. But it's still an engaging story and a new settings, so that's cool. And the idea of using concrete and rocks to make natural beach chairs is one I may have to steal (albeit sadly without the beach)[^environment].

They also sort of force themselves into the grumpy family, whether they want it or not. But it all ends up well in the end because friendship.

And hey. It has a lighthouse!



It's a fun enough story, par for the course for the Boxcar Children. My children enjoyed it at least.

[^wat]: It's even crazier when later Jessie complains because "four new [swimsuits] would cost too much". Um. More or less than a lighthouse...

[^environment]: Granted, it's not the most environmentally friendly option. Everything in moderation? ( )

While the boxcar children head home from their great-aunt's new farm, they find a lighthouse and move in for a few weeks. There are a couple of seemingly unsavory characters in town who turn out to be father and son. Something is going on in the summer kitchen of the lighthouse and the Boxcar children have to become friends with two people who don't want any contact in order to solve this mystery. ( )

In the eighth book of "The Boxcar Children" series, the Alden children and their grandfather are renting a lighthouse for the summer. They anticipate a quiet summer by the sea, but find themselves investigating a mystery instead. Their dog wakes up growling each evening, and an unknown woman is seen wandering the grounds.

When the children befriend a troubled but gifted young man, Larry Cook, they discover that he is using the abandoned lighthouse keeper's cottage for scientific experiments. The boy's father has forbidden him from attending college, so Larry continues his studies in secret. When Larry becomes lost during a summer storm, will his father have a change of heart?

I read this book as a child and greatly enjoyed revisiting it as an adult. The Lighthouse Mystery perfectly combines intrigue, adventure and a strong moral message. Highly recommended for young readers.
