The Boxcar Children is always mysterious to me when I read it. Sometimes it gets really intense for me too much on what happens next.
Boxcar mysteries are always mysterious and fun to read. This series and book have always made me imagine more. And whenever I read it I visualized it.
I remember as a little girl I would read the Boxcar children for a mystery story with some vocabulary. The series is good overall, showing teamwork between the 4 siblings.
These series are usually pretty good but this one wasn't so good i feel like it wasn't the best idea ever but maybe if it was out a little differently it would have came together and formed something better.
This book is about 4 kid. Both their parents died and they are supposed to live with their grandpa's, but they are scared. So they run away. Will they survive, will they go live with grandpa, our wool they find somewhere else?
The Boxcar Children is a book about 4 young children Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny. Their parents have died, and they are supposed to go live with their grandfather. But the siblings are afraid that their grandfather will be mean and grumpy, even though they have never met him. So they decide to run away, and live on their own. After a night in the woods, the kids find a old boxcar. They fix it up, and make their own home. Henry goes into to town each morning and afternoon to do odd-jobs for a nice doctor to earn money for food and treats. The children are living happily in their little home. But will they be discovered? Will there grandfather find them? Is he really as bad as they supposed? I recommend this book to young elementary children. It is a very low reading level, probably for 2-3 graders. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
I love this book! It is so awesome and I recommend it because it has some good aspects between the brothers and sisters loving each other and taking care of each other.

I absolutely LOVE this book! Its about Orphans who had nothing and managed to survive in a boxcar. Its a story about perseverance and family. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny go on an adventure and eventually find their Grandfather who they move in with. It has some funny and sad times. I would recommend this to anyone to read. I have read it probably 3 times! Its amazing!! (Updated about less than a minute ago)
