Descriere The Box-Car Children - Gertrude Chandler Warner

\nFour orphans -- Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny -- discover an abandoned boxcar and move in, embarking on a life of self-reliance and hard work. They also enter a world of freedom and adventure. When Violet falls ill, they're forced to take her to a doctor, even though they'll risk losing their independence by getting a grown-up involved. \n Gertrude Chandler Warner read this story to her students and rewrote it many times to make sure that it would be both engaging and easy to read. The Box-Car Children was so successful that she published 18 sequels. Warner noted that the book raised a storm of protest from librarians who thought the children were having too good a time without any parental control That is exactly why children like it Ranked among the all-time Top 100 Chapter Books in a School Library Journal survey, The Box-Car Children is also among the National Education Association's Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children.
