The young detectives gather evidence without the help from adults. Young readers identify with the Alden children. They love adventures with family and friends. The Alden children do fun things like bike rides, have picnics and go swimming. Also, they experience independence from adult supervision. This is something children in the target age group 8-12 crave in their personal life. They believe they are capable of handling problems. The Boxcar Children series offer these experiences in the young detective series. Gertrude Chandler Warner created the Boxcar Children series. She wrote the first nineteen books. The publisher continues the series with help from other writers. This young detective book written by a ghost writer is modern. For example, in the Bicycle Mystery, the Alden children ride bicycles.
