About
The Boxcar Children is a series of children’s mystery novels created by American author Gertrude Chandler Warner . The series follows four orphans – Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny Alden – who find a boxcar in the forest that they turn into their home. Not long after that, they meet their grandfather, who they had believed was a mean person but was actually a nice man. Soon, the children become amateur sleuths and go around solving the mysteries that they come across. Although adults are present in the series, the children are very much unsupervised. In 2014, an animated film was released (starring Martin Sheen).
