Henry, Jess, Violet, and Benny just lost their father and are all alone. To avoid being sent to the grandfather they fear, they have no choice but to run away. What follows is a weary midnight journey and the fun of settling into an old, abandoned boxcar in the woods. When Henry's job makes them new friends, they don't realize how important that will be for their future. - Summary by HannahMary (2 hr 40 min)

Loved it!

(5 Sterne)

This original version of The Boxcar Children is much more in depth and delightful than the simplified books so many of us grew up with. The story has many great details that delight an imagination and endearing characters. Well read, too!

Daughter Loved This!

(5 Sterne)

My 9-year old daughter listened to it twice over and loved every moment of it. This reader (HannahMary) is pleasant to listen to. We all enjoyed it.

The Original Boxcar Children

(5 Sterne)

Such a sweet story, and so sweetly read. One could just hear the reader smiling! This alternate/original story was interesting to compare with the one I grew up reading. The altered names grated on my ear a bit as I had others so firmly fixed in my mind. But otherwise any different details were simply interesting. By now the story is so nostalgic for me!
