The Boxcar Children- Mai Yia's Review

I think the BOXCAR CHILDREN is extremely fun to read. It tells about adventurous kids who are running away from their grandfather. While running away they had many adventures. The four kid's names are: Henry, a boy who is strong and is the oldest, Jessie, a girl who is adventurous and knows how to cook excellent food, Violet a 10 year old girl who is smart, and Benny, the youngest, well mannered, and funny boy. Henry worked for a man named Dr. Moore because he wanted to make money to buy food to eat. He also worked for Dr. Moore so that he could support his siblings. These kids are very creative. I really like this book. I think everyone should read this book because you could learn something. It is a good bedtime story too because, you could have wonderful dreams instead of scary nightmares. I give this book 5 stars.

Suspenseful, beautifully written book

After their Grandfather has bought a bookstore and rented it to his friend, Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny are helping out. As a reward, they each get to pick a book to keep. But the Boxcar Children find mysterious clues of a person entering the store and even their rooms at night, unseen. Then Violet's books disappear. Can they get to the bottom of this?
