I was a huge Boxcar Children fan growing up, I couldn't tell you how many of them I read from the library as a kid. It's been a long time since I revisited them so I picked this up. I did forget that this first installment has no mystery/doesn't fit the pattern of the others, but still had fun reading it. The characters are so cute, and I can see why I loved them back then. I do want to pick up another one in the series to remember what it's really like, but this was fun and worth the revisit for now.
