The Boxcar Children tells the story of four orphaned children, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. They create a home for themselves in an abandoned boxcar in the forest. When a local baker and his wife learn that the children are orphans, they plan to send the children to live with their grandfather, but the children have been brought up to fear their grandfather, whom they have never met, because he did not like their parents' marriage. But their grandfather turns out to be a wealthy and kind man. He adopts children and moves the beloved boxcar to his backyard so they can use it as a playhouse.

    Learning is an adventure in Ms. Frogbottom’s class because she’s got a magic map—one that takes her students all over the world to do battle with mythical monsters no one believes are real. All Ms. Frogbottom has to do is take out the map, tap a country and—SHAZAAM!—off they go to a place somewhere far far away. When Ms. Frogbottom’s crew lands in Scotland, they come nose-to-nose with the legendary Loch Ness Monster! Bestselling and beloved author Nancy Krulik ingeniously approaches geography in a new way as the kids in Ms. Frogbottom’s class learn about the places they visit while fighting, fleeing, or, in some cases, rescuing monsters.
