POPULAR SERIES - THE BOXCAR CHILDREN
(Gertrude Chandler Warner) $2 PB GC+
Four adventurous orphans take up residence in a boxcar and begin to solve mysteries -- this is the premise of the beloved Boxcar Children series, begun in 1942 by Gertrude Chandler Warner and still going strong. After the introductory novel, the rest of the Boxcar Children books involve the children solving various mysteries. Many children enjoy reading the series because the Boxcar Children are resourceful, compassionate, and intelligent, and the stories are often fun and interesting. Each child has a distinctively developed character, allowing many readers to find something in common with at least one of the characters, and the books encourage people to develop problem solving skills and an awareness of and responsibility to others. 6-11 YO
