The Railway Children by E. Nesbit

4.0

---

This was much better than The Treasure Seekers! It felt much more realistic, in the sense that the three children actually had hardships to endure, and they embraced the pain instead of just ignoring the seriousness of the issue at hand (like the children in The Treasure Seekers often did). I thoroughly enjoyed it; it made me realize and remember what childhood was like, and the benefit of helping others.
