The Boxcar Children Beginning: The Aldens of Fair Meadow Farm by Patricia MacLachlan

5.0

Well-written and thoughtful prequel to the Boxcar Children series by Gertrude Chandler Warner. It answered all the questions I had as I read the stories growing up. How did the Aldens' parents die? Why didn't they want to live with their grandfather? Where were they going when they discovered the boxcar?
