The Boxcar Children
a novel by Gertrude Chandler Warner
Four orphaned children — Henry, Jessie, Violet, and little Benny — make a home of their own in an abandoned railroad boxcar in the woods. With cleverness, kindness, and teamwork they cook, explore, adopt a loyal dog, and slowly uncover a family secret with a heart-warming surprise. These Part-by-Part workbooks cover the whole story with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, and writing, all built on real-world background.
