The Boxcar Children

We read and watch Gertrude Chandler Warner’s debut novel, The Boxcar Children. You may think you know a thing or two about this series, there are over 150 titles in all. BUT we bet you know nothing about the first story and how terrible it really was.

Tessa and Elliot talk about how this book really isn’t a book at all, and how there was no way even way back in 1924 that readers weren’t grossed out by the grandpa.
