Superstar Watch: The Wundermutt dog food company is searching for a very special dog to be in their commericals, and the Aldens bring their dog, Watch, to the tryouts! But plenty of other dog owners are hoping their dogs get the job, too - including a dog that's already famous. Does Watch have what it takes to be a star? The Spy in the Bleachers: It's a big week at Cogwheel Stadium - the Clayton Cogs are playing for the pennant! But the other team's batters seem to know the pitches too well, and it's clear someone in the stadium is stealing the Cogs pitcher's signals. Now the Boxcar Children must find out who is spying for the other team! The Amazing Mystery Show: The Boxcar Children have been chosen to be on an exciting new show! A camera crew is following the Aldens around the city of Philadelphia as they compete with another team in a search for clues. But the search isn't easy, and someone is giving them the wrong directions! Who is trying to ruin the game? Three complete stories in one collection! Includes Superstar Watch, The Spy in the Bleachers, and The Amazing Mystery Show. The Boxcar Children Series was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner, a teacher, when she realized that there were few, if any, books for children that were both easy and fun to read. She drew on her own experiences in writing the mysteries. As a child, she had spent hours watching trains near her home, and often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car. In each story, she chose a special setting and introduced unpredictable, unusual or eccentric characters, to help highlight the Aldens' independence and resourcefulness. Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Massachusetts until her death in 1979
