As a young child in grade school this was one of the very first books I read. I loved the book to read about four children,their adventures and making it on their own. I looked for a long time to purchase the book and one day I thought I would give amazon a try. When I saw the book and the price and upon receiving the book it was in fantastic condition. Now my grandchildren can relive the same adventure I did.
Thanks Amazon

This book is awesome! I have read it many, many times over and still love it every time!! Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny have become real people to me! Their independence and bravery give you a good lesson and a easy read at the same time. A good book for any young reader. (or old!)

This is one of those books that is without a doubt an absolute classic. Every time I read it I love it more. It has everything a good adventure story should have--runaways, danger, mysteries, living in an abandoned boxcar. And yet none of it is too threatening, which makes it perfect for young readers. Warner's stye is one that is no longer seen, but it's a marvelously understated way of telling a great story while still maintaining decent emotion.

3rd grade reader says, "This book is about four children who keep running away from people after losing both parents during the depression. First, they run away from their grandfather because they picture him as old. They think this means he will only bully them and make them do his chores. Second, they run away from a bakery because they don't trust the baker's wife to not call a foster home, which would allow their grandfather to find them. Finally, they create a safe place to live away from everyone - in an old box car with stuff from a dump. Then they build a friendship with a man and his friend, but the friend turns out to be their grandfater in desquise. They go home with him, bringing the box car with them. This book teaches not to judge people by how they look and how we need a safe place before we can trust."
