I forgot all about finishing this book until I was cleaning my room today and I found it, so I finished it quickly because there were only a few pages left.
Anyway, this is basic run-of-the-mill "Boxcar Children" fare. Nothing truly happens, and there aren't any consequences for the bad guy's actions.. what kind of precedent does that set for young kids? This used to be one of my favorites but on further reflection as an adult, it's not anymore.
Still, Boxcar Children books are a lot of fun and near and dear to my heart.
