Fun submitted by 0liviap0pp on August 20, 2011, 6:50am The Boxcar Children books are fun!

Good Book For Younger Ages submitted by sophas on August 16, 2014, 11:56am When you are in Early Elementary these books are the perfect books that bring adventure and are not boring(at that age.)However if you are older you will start to realize that they are way to predictable and you can tell who did it by the 2nd chapter. The four children also have a little too much of a defined personality, but if you are littler you probably would like that. Overall this is a very good book!
