This is a great book with a lot of excitement and mystery. I have read the series and it is very exciting.

An unexstpected ending to the series.

I thought I would like the books because it a mystery book about kids. But the stories were kind of predictable and I could guess what was going to happen. Didn't really work my imagination or had me excited to read the next book in the series. An easy and quick read without a lot of excitement.

I really like these books. They are about four siblings that are orphaned and live in a boxcar. These books are awesome! If you like books with a mixes of both family and mystery, you will like the Boxcar Children series. I enjoy reading these books and know you will too!

I think this is a flabbergasting book that is totally AWESOME!!!! IF you ask me I think it's very brave that the Boxcar Children( Henry, Jessie, Violet , and Benny) decided to live in the boxcar! I'm really glad that they get back with Mr.Alden their grandfather!!!

I love this one just like the last one

I thought this was a really good cute book

The first book in the series filled with adventure and surprises.
