The Boxcar Children Beginning: The Aldens of Fair Meadow Farm Audiobook

" Wasn't quite as good as I expected it to be, considering it's the Boxcar Children and a story of how it all began before the first book. Guess I had too high expectations. "

" I think this adequately captures the spirit and tone of the original books. "

" I would have absolutely LOVED this book as a 7-8 year old. Perfect for that age group! ...I loved all of the Boxcar Children at that age and this one would have been a favorite for sure. "

" I didn't hate it. "

" Sweet, but not amazing. "

" This short book tells the story of the Alden children "before they were the Boxcar Children". There's not much to it, but fans of the series will surely devour it. "

" Might require this as class easy reader. Only way to get in this series as "current" "

" I thought the writing was not very good and the story pedantic. Disappointed:( "

" Loved this beginning look of how things were before they were the Boxcar children. I may even revisit the old series as an adult now that I've read this book. Give this book a read! "

" This was a really fun nostalgia piece for me because I loved the Boxcar Children as a child. MacLachlan was able to achieve the same loving tone and personality of the children. Also, I must, must, must go to the Boxcar Children Museum. "

" This story was wonderful...so believable, but the illustrations ruined the book. Why have such a touching story and print that reminded me of the original tale, then throw modern day, out of the era drawings on the pages? This spoiled the Alden family's story for me. "

" This was a good book to begin, "The Boxcar Children" series. It is the story of the boxcar children before they become the boxcar children and their family life before they find their grandfather. "

" A simple but effective prequel to a beloved series. "
