The Boxcar Children

When I found out we needed to review a book from a series, I begin to think about the books I read in elementary school. I remembered that I loved the Boxcar Children's books but couldn't remember what they were about exactly. I went to the lab and looked up to see if they had any of the books. It turned out that the only one they had was the first one. I thought that this was the best one they could have had because I hadn't remembered the exact story.

The book is about four brothers and sisters. Their parents passed away and they are just trying to survive. They know they have a living grandpa but they think he doesn't want them. The book is about their adventure and survival on their own. In the end they find their grandpa and realize he is a good person and has been looking for them the entire time.

I think this book is great for any child looking for adventure. I think it is a great plot line for a series because the children have so much growing to do. Their story could continue on with their grandpa and the reader would enjoy to continue on the journey with the four children. Each of the four children have completely different personalities and so I think any reader would be able to relate to any of them.
