I thought they were okay, but a little rigged. I only liked the original fifteen or whatever it was.

They were, we eh.  I like the 1st few, but, then the get pretty boring, unlike Animorphs.  I have the 50 somthingth book from a grandmother and it was super boring!!!  I stopped on the 7th page.  I don't recommened the series of books for anybody in 4th grade or older.  They are for younger kids, I think.

The Boxcar Children are VERY repetitive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why they are always on vacation and barely go to school?

However the first book was the best and the mystery plots where pretty good.Undecided

I really liked that they went into a bakery and they ran away and found a box car.  That was because the bakery owners wanted to give them to a foster home or their grandfather. They thought that their grandfather was mean. I really liked this book.  I have read lots more in this series.
