Surprise Island
a novel by Gertrude Chandler Warner
In this second Boxcar Children adventure, the four Alden children — Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny — spend a whole summer on their grandfather’s private island. They make an old barn their home, go clamming, build a museum of their finds, and uncover ancient treasures — all with the help of Joe, the friendly handyman who is a bit of a mystery. A cosy tale of teamwork, discovery, and family. Each Part workbook has vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, and writing, plus nature and history background lessons.
