Title: Good for the beginning reader
Review: I purchased two Boxcar Children graphic novels for my six year old grandson for Christmas. He is somewhat familiar with the original books, and was quite entertained by reading with me. My hope is that the level of reading is just hard enough to be a challenge but not too frustrating, and this seems to be the case. He is able to read these now with only occasional help.The story line seemed a little thin, leading me to think that some important details were left out of the original. Pictures were OK. And the fact that there are both older and younger characters seems to broaden the appeal of the story, giving each reader someone with whom he or she can relate.I do think these are expensive for the length, but will probably buy some of the other Boxcar books later when he needs more reading matter.
Is the review positive or negative?
