This story is heart-warming and is a great book for begginer readers or a more advanced reader looking for a classic.
Amazing and definitely interesting story of 4 children running from the threat of their youngest being given to an orphanage - I think! Very fun and somewhat easy read for all ages
Moving full story of the movie on the first episode. Read the book, it'll be really fun.
It was an exciting stories and I really like exciting adventure stories. Jessie, Violet, Benny and Henry find a boxcar in the woods and decide it will be there home and the story is about them running away from their grandfather. They think he will be mean because he did not like their mother but they never met him.
I didn't want to read this book but ny mom told me to read it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Give it a try.
I loved this book! The boxcar children were so cool! They go on a lot of fun adventures together. I really enjoyed reading this book!
The Boxcar Children is about four siblings. They are orphans but don't want to live with their grandfather because they don't think he likes them. They find a old boxcar and transform it into a home. The oldest brother works for an old doctor in town. He is curious about him. After some time the youngest sister becomes ill and they have to go the the doctor's house. In the end their kindly grandfather comes and takes them to his home.
This book is one of my favorites!!! Henry, Jessie, Violet, and little Benny's parents have died and they think their Grandfather is mean. Then they find a boxcar and live there for while. Then something happens to Violet and everything changes.
I love this book i read like 6 times and when my friends saw me read they started reading it to it is a really fun book
