Title: Boxcar Children overrated
Review: So many other reviewers of these books have written about how much they love them, and so it feels churlish to offer a dissenting view. But my children couldn't stand the books, and I read them and agree. They're just too preachy. The story isn't compelling, because the books aren't really rooted in story, or in well-drawn characterizations. The kids are so perfect, my kids didn't find them remotely believable. There are so many other much better books for children--I'd recommend almost anything else.
