5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for young kids, extremly action packed, April 13, 2000
This review is from: Meet the Boxcar Children (Boxcar Children Early Reader #1) (Adventures of Benny and Watch) (Paperback)
In this first book in the series, you meet Benny, Henry, Jessie and Violet, four children whose parents have died and have no where to go. They find an abandoned boxcar and call it home. The end is more surprising than you can imagine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meet the box car children, May 17, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Meet the Boxcar Children (Boxcar Children Early Reader #1) (Adventures of Benny and Watch) (Paperback)
The book name was the adventures of "Benny and Watch".
I think this book would be good for other people to read but it was a mystery story and I don't like mystery stories.
