This is a fun kids story. I've never read any others from this series, but this one is enjoyable. It stuck with me from my childhood and I just finished reading it to my 7 year old. Even though the story was published ten years before I was born, we both enjoyed it. It has simple sentence structure and would be perfect for a first or second grader to read on their own.
The four siblings avoid going to live with their grandfather because they think he won't like them. They fend for themselves by taking shelter in an abandoned boxcar. They are very creative in caring for themselves and are content in their self built home, then the youngest sister falls ill. The story wraps up nicely with a happy ending.
