5/5 i love this book

Parents are dead. Only realitives left is grandpa, and since he never ever met him, the 4 children assume him as mean. On their own, 4 children struggle to stay alive and hidden until something happens to one... 🌌i rate this book a night full of stars! Great book! 🌉

The Boxcar children's parents die in a mysterious way which makes everyone sad and tier grandfather sets out to find them but the children think he's mean and run away from him

I liked this book because it has a lot of nature and fun things. I also like how the little ones listen to Henry and Jessie. I loved it!
