Description
"Revisit the original Gertrude Chandler Warner story that has grown to include more than 150 series titles—Now in easy to read, dyslexia-friendly font! Four young orphans discover an abandoned boxcar and move in, embarking on a life of self-reliance and hard work -- but they also enter a world of freedom and adventure. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are afraid of the grandfather they've never met, and to escape his custody they set out on their own, working odd jobs to make money for necessities. When Violet falls ill, they're forced to take her to a doctor . . . and risk losing their independence. Against all odds, they make the old red boxcar their home—and become the Boxcar Children. This special edition from Common Classics has been updated with a dyslexia-friendly font designed to increase readability for readers with dyslexia. Unique letter shapes, heavy weighted bottoms, and wider letter spacing may help some symptoms of dyslexia."--,Publisher's description.
