Summary: I found a passion for reading as a child - it began here..
Comment: Before I read the Boxcar Children, in Elementary School, our class would make frequent visits to the library where I would check out books regularly. With the same regularity, however, I would usually turn them in unfinished, or unread altogether. I picked up this book, recommended to me by a teacher in the 3rd grade, and became earnestly engrossed in literature for the first time; I read the book 4 times. The central characters in this book are 4 children of various age, who find what they need to survive without parents to guide their decisions. The young central characters and the vivid descriptions make it easy for young readers to empathize with the children and visualize each event vicariously. The wilderness, the boxcar, the confrontations, the simple yet clever comforts they create for themselves, and the uncertainty of their future are among those things that make this book an enthralling and memorable read. I remember getting a chill at the "finish". A great book and a joy to read.
I recommend The Boxcar Children to all young readers.

Summary: Boxcar Children was the first book I ever read: I was 7.
Comment: I still recall with some clarity the closeness I felt to the children as I made my way through this book in the second grade. I remember that I was fully immersed, and that I immediately checked out other books in search of a similar experience. I became a reader for life. Many times I have wondered if this was an out-of-print title, a well known book, or simply an obscure children's adventure which happened to be in our Holy Cross School library in Mendota, Il. On a whim, I stopped into Amazon and I was ecstatic to learn that it is a classic, and that I can(and will) purchase the entire series for my own children.

Summary: Classic family reading!!
Comment: Another book from my old library! I am just completing the 4th Boxcar Children Book - the first was an oldie from my home library! If you have more than one child this is a series that will keep all children interested - even with big age differences - and mom & dad's imagination soaring, too! I could hardly convince either child - boys aged 4 & 9 to let me stop reading - sometimes 4 chapters per evening. When we finished the first one we passed it on to friends with girls aged 5 & 10. The same thing happened. Not only did the children sit listening,but they talked about the adventures afterwards in length - especially in the first book. Glad to know that Amazon is a place to find these wonderful stories!
