Christy G. writes the following about The Boxcar Children :

Four orphans, two boys and two girls, set up housekeeping in an old boxcar. The Box Car Children is about the four children. They lived in a old box car in the woods because they didn't have any family left that they knew about. One day the oldest one named Henry saw an add for a race and he decided to go there. The coach's last name was Aladin just like their last name. Then the man went over to Henry and realized that was one of his missing grandchildren, so they went and got the rest of the children and they all lived together. I liked this book because it has a lot of action in it and it is a mystery book. I really like mystery books. I really enjoyed this book.
