A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Mystery on the Train (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #51) (Paperback)

This book is great! You can feel the wheels speeding up and slowing down.I loved this book, and I read it a gazillion times! The mystery is very hard and exiting, but at the last stop the Boxcar children found the person. I strongly recommend this book! Chu! Chu!
