The Aldens begin their adventure by making a home in a boxcar. Their goal is to stay together, and in the process they find a grandfather.
This book is really cool. Its kinda like a modern adaption of The Original Boxcar Children. The Orphans are recruited by a secret society and are supposed to return artifacts to the right place. The children go on an adventure around the globe. Its a fun and exciting book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good adventure!
I think the book was funny like when they said I don't like that turtle it was so funny I want to read it again again so funny
I really liked this book. Even though this book was good I wouldn't recommend the original series. This book was better because the story was more interesting but I never really liked the characters at all. This book was about a group of 4 kids known as the boxcar children going on a great adventure trying to return stuff to people. I would recommend this book for everyone!
This book is about kids solving mysteries. It was kind of interesting but it did not keep my attention. My favorite thing about the book is that it was about mysteries. I liked the kids in the story so I would try another book in the series.
This newer and modern adaptation of the Boxcar Children is a continuation from the original series from what I can tell (I have only read the first book in either series). Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden live with their grandfather and his housekeeper Mrs. McGregor. They decide to sell a trunk to an antiques dealer, Reddimus Curiosities. However, find a turtle that they do not own. More mysteries like this come their way, but the family later finds out they were puzzles by the Reddimus Society, who return lost artifacts. the Reddimus Society recruits them, but with a change of plans, the children are then chosen to travel the world. Along the way, the also meet enemies, too. I enjoyed this book, but I feel the original was better. Stiil, this is a good all-ages book.
This was an awesome book! It is about these four kids named Jessie, Henry, Violet, and Benny. Since their parents died, they have to live with their grandfather. One day a mysterious statue of a turtle appears. The children are neighborhood detectives. They solve any cases. They wonder where the turtle came from. One day they go to the library for some books to help solve the case. There is a new librarian. Her name is Trudy. One they leave the library she says that they forgot a book that is checked out under their name. It turned out that the book was not a library book and the pages were blank. Their adventure continues in the next book. I loved this book. It is one of my favorite books that I have read in my life. I recommend this book to anyone. This was a very very adventurous book!
This book was really fun. I liked how she created a bad guy without it seeming to unrealistic. I thought it was SUPER cool that the Reddimus Society was trying to return the different old artifacts to their owners or owners relatives. It seemed like a cool plot line. I think this book really works for all ages.
I honestly didn't like this book. I thought it was boring. I love mystery books, but this one wasn't interesting except for the first two chapters. Don't waste your time reading this!
