Publisher's summary

The Aldens visit Ireland and stay in a beautiful castle that's now a hotel! But the caretaker seems very superstitious, and at night they see a mysterious figure who walks the halls carrying a lantern. Could it be one of the banshees of ancient legend? The Boxcar Children must discover the secret that Duncarraig castle is hiding!

Very good

Love the history lesson at the end . I think the narrator was fine and the voices do not sound like Sesame Street.

Dreadful narrator!

The narration largely ruined this book for us. Having previously listened to a BC book by Phyllis Newman, we probably had super high expectations. The voices are like Sesame Street characters--this is not a compliment! Dreadful, forced, and unbelievable. The story was ok, but might have been better.
