I LOVE THE SERIES NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CHARACTERS BUT BECAUSE OF THE OVERWHELMING MAIN IDEAS AND BECAUSE OF THE WARM RELATIONSHIPS.NOT ONLY DID THE 4 KIDS LOSE THEIR HOME BUT THEY LOST THEIR PARENTS AND THIS IS SOMETHING VERY HARD TO GO THROUGH SPECIALLY FOR LITTLE KIDS LIKE BENNY BUT I THINK VIOLET IS MORE PREPARED AND MORE HARDWORKING THAN BENNY EVEN THOUGH SHE LOST HER PARENTS BUT BENNY IS YOUNGER, WHILE JESSIE IS PREPARED FOR ANYTHING SHE COULD FIND MYSTERIES QUICKER THAN ANYBODY BUT ALSO LOVELY, WHILE HENRY IS SWEET,KIND,THOUGHTFUL AND GENEROUS.SO IF I WOULD CHOOSE BETWEEN THE 4 KIDS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO I WOULD JUST SAY THE GRANDPA BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE SO WONDERFUL!!! SORRY FOR THE LONG PARAGRAPH BUT I LOVE THIS SERIES

5/5 i love this book
Good book
I agree
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! 🌉
i agree
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 agree
