The Boxcar Children By Gertrud Chandler Werner Four children walked by a bakery. They were on an adventure and a few mystery along the way. If you’re an orphan, you might like this book because you can relate to it. They have a Grandfather but they think he is mean. They have lots of fun in there new home. [ I won't tell were or wot they live in] They are very independent in the next book they sleep on an island all by them self. I’ll bet you'll love this book.
like best book EVER : )
The book the Boxcar Children is about 4 siblings- Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. They are orphans who one day find a boxcar in the woods. They make it there home. Along the road, they find a dog, a job, and most importantly- a happy ending! This is a great classic full of family love and caring children.
This is a great book! I loved it. It adds the perfect amount of action, suspense, and excitement. The boxcar children is a big hit for readers. This book leaves the reader satisfied
I love how the Boxcar Children doesn't start out as a mystery series. The characters are very relatable. It definitely is a must read for anyone. The only problem I have with the series, is that there are so many, that its impossible to read them all.
The Boxcar Children is a classic novel for a good reason. The story is about 4 siblings and their adventures. They have nowhere to live so they live in an abanded box car. Their only relative is their grandfather who they think is mean. They later learn that he is kind and they live with him and the boxcar is now a playhouse for them. I loved reading this story and I will never forget what it teaches about how strong families are.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK AND I REALLY LIKED IT! this such a book they learn how to survive on there own in a box car! i loved
These books always made me want to live in a boxcar and solve mysteries. But, since I can't do that, these books always portal me into a world where I can! I love it!
This is the first book in the series. One of my favorite books. The kids go on adventures all around the boxcar they make into their home.
