Product Description

Read by Phyllis Newman
two cassettes / two hours 35 mins.

Adventure abounds as the Alden children spend a summer living on their grandfather's island.  They display a wealth of confidence in their ability to face life's everyday challenges armed only with their clever inventiveness and the support of eachother.  Few subjects are as sure to capture the imaginations of children as the idea of living on their own.  A hint of suspense is woven through the story until the mysterious true identity of Joe the handyman is finally revealed. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Ingram

The Boxcar Children are spending the summer on their own private island. There's a mysterious stranger on the island who must keep his identity a secret. And that's not the only surprise in store for the Boxcar Children on Surprise Island!.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun book for kids!!, Jan 14 2003
By A Customer
The Boxcar Children #2 Suprise Island is a great book for kids and others 15 and under. My favorite part was when the kids found Indian Point and all the artifacts hidden there. After they found all the artifacts they made there own museum. My other favorite part was when the dogs raced each other. When they had to leave they weren't very disspointed because they knew that they were going to come back.The author is such a realistic writer that when you read this book you think that you are there with them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Full of surprises, Aug 29 2002
By Mrs Baldwin (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surprise Island (Hardcover)
I still enjoy these books even though the real thrill of reading them only happens when you're still a child. I remember not liking this one much the first time through, actually, but then a year later or so re-reading it and liking it.

Basically it's a summer of re-living the survival skills of the first book, except they are in a barn on their grandfather's island. A captain and his so-called handyman live close by to help if anything should happen. But the handyman seems to know a lot, and the children find it hard to believe that he's only a handyman.

This book also marks the first appearance of Benny's friend Mike, who plays a pretty important role in some of the books to come. It also hints at the yellow house, which was what spurred the story of the third book (the first real mystery in the series).

Definitely should be read as part of the real Boxcar Children experience - not the foundationless fluff written by various authors of today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Mystery for People Who Loves Mystery, Oct 4 2001
By P. Lee (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have many of the Boxcar children books. They are really colorful on my bookshelf because of the differnt colors of the spines of the books. OK, once you read the first book, you have to read the second one. It is really good for people who are adventurous just like the Boxcar Children. This set of books are perfect for young readers. Parents, These are perfect for your kids. They are short and sweet. I recommend this for children in the Third and Fourth Grades
