So much fun to read! I can't wait to read more in the series
So good! I watched the movie and it is good too!
This story is heart-warming and is a great book for begginer readers or a more advanced reader looking for a classic.
Amazing and definitely interesting story of 4 children running from the threat of their youngest being given to an orphanage - I think! Very fun and somewhat easy read for all ages
Moving full story of the movie on the first episode. Read the book, it'll be really fun.
It was an exciting stories and I really like exciting adventure stories. Jessie, Violet, Benny and Henry find a boxcar in the woods and decide it will be there home and the story is about them running away from their grandfather. They think he will be mean because he did not like their mother but they never met him.
I didn't want to read this book but ny mom told me to read it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Give it a try.
I loved this book! The boxcar children were so cool! They go on a lot of fun adventures together. I really enjoyed reading this book!
