OK submitted by sophas on August 16, 2014, 12:14pm 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 very defined personality, but if you are littler you probably would like that. Overall this is a very good book.

Good submitted by TLW1998 on June 21, 2022, 8:48pm My 6-7 year old daughter and I love reading The Boxcar Children books. The kids in the books have good morals, values, and manners, and they are very independent. There is usually a mystery to solve. This book takes place on a farm..
