Boxcar Children series

6/13/2014

The Boxcar Children books are some of my favorites. If you aren't familiar with this series, it is about four children ages six to fourteen who solve mysteries. With over 130 books, I still haven't read them all! Of course, there are some that I haven't read simply because their titles don't interest me, such as The Mystery of the Runaway Ghost. In some books, the characters think that a location is haunted, but it always turns out that the "ghost" is a prankster.

If you want to read adventure/mystery books, but don't like boatloads of suspense, these are the books for you. I would recommend these books for ages seven and up, and give them a rating of four and a half stars. If you want to find some Boxcar Children books, most libraries have them.

We always LOVED the Boxcar Children series. We went out and rented a caboose to stay in along the Platte River when the kids were young. There was a bed up in the cupola, a small kitchen, and it was really nice inside - we loved it! Plus there was a lake with a beach for swimming - it was a fun mini-adventure. :)

The Box Car children books are always so fun!
Me and my sister used to read them ALL THE TIME. I've just picked them up again, and they're still as good as when I used to read them . =)
And your right, some of titles aren't the most interesting titles I've seen- some of them are, though. =D
I haven't read all the books either, seeing as we only have about ten or fifteen. =D

This was a good review, Katie!
