Myth of the Rain Forest Monster

The Aldens are joining Dr. Iris Perez as she investigates legendary creatures around the world. In the last leg of the journey, the children travel to the Amazon Rain Forest. They love learning about all the different plants and animals they have never seen before. But is there really a creature in the forest that hasn’t yet been discovered?

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car—just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books—a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children® series has more than one hundred books.
