"In first grade I was already a fan of school. I liked the routine, the bright crayons, sharp pencils, and creamy lined paper. Teaching was one of my answers to "What do you want to be when you grow up?" As the subject of school interests me,this was one of the better books in the series." — Sarah (4 out of 5 stars)

" A good series for the young reader. "
" The Boxcar Children = most read series between the ages of 6 and 9 for me. I think of these fondly. Every child should read this series. "
" I'm trying to remember this one! I know I read it, but I can't remember that much. "
" I love mystery, and this has lots! "
" Remember really really liking this one. "
" This series is definitely written for younger kids. The writing is dull and the story is straight forward. I just felt s need to give The Boxcar Children a try before I grow up completely. "
" David Cunningham illustrated this book about the adventurous boxcar children. "
" This is where I stopped reading this series. I thought it was pretty boring the whole way through and #9 was the peak. "
