reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. No one knew them. No one knew where they come from.

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are orphans. Determined to make it on their own, they set out to find a safe place to live.

They discover an old, red boxcar that provides shelter from a storm. Against all odds, they make it into their home-- and become the boxcar chiladren!
