Customer Reviews

Ms. Warner does it again

My now 11-year old son *loves* Gertrude Chandler Warner's Boxcar Children Mysteries. I started reading them to him, a chapter a night, before bed, years ago. Now he reads them himself. And getting him to read in English is no mean feat. He has no trouble with speaking and understanding the language, but reading it is another matter. I think the kids' sense of self-reliance really appeals to him and the settings of the books are quite varied, which keeps things interesting. The Boxcar Children mysteries are mysterious enough to be interesting, but never too scary, which is great for bedtime stories and/or for younger, more easily scared children. Also Mom is happy because the language is good and the 4 kids are so nice.

Terrific Series

My son, who is 26 years old, has always loved the Boxcar Children series. He started reading these books in elementary school and now he wants to get the series for HIS sons. Grammy (that's me) is buying the entire Boxcar Children series for my grandsons (and their father!). Truely delightful stories for kids of any age.
