HTML: Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny once lived on their own in a boxcar... The Boxcar Children are spending the summer in a tiny, quiet New England fishing village. The little schoolhouse doesn't have a proper teacher, so the Aldens are teaching! There's also a very old library where nobody ever goes â?? nobody, that is, except for a mysterious stranger. For such a small town, Port Elizabeth has a lot of secrets! Look for more Boxcar Children adventures in this exciting series. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Basically, they go to a very poor little island, end up buying supplies and teaching the local kids (since the Aldens know everything, much more than those poor islands), and mess up a man that everyone loved because he was buying local coins and old things for crazy rates.
Let's talk about that for a minute:
That's ... actually a really good point. Ignoring the library books and things he did outside of the story (convenient that) for the moment, what he was doing was ethically perfect, but ... was it even that wrong? If he had told them, I bet many of the islands would have gone for his trades anyways. Where else are they going to find people to buy their stuff? And what kid wouldn't rather a new shiny doll to a broken old one. But no, to the Aldens, it really is all about the monetary value of things. Oy.
Just oy.
Also, Mr. Carter. Shows up in disguise for some reason? As if anyone would know him. And his disguise. The most hilarious fake English this side of Mary Poppins...
Oh... come one.
A few other random notes:

And now I bet that's how they end every book. Gertrude Chandler Warner is really getting into a formula here. I guess that's how they made hundreds of the things.
Overall, it's a vaguely interesting idea, but cringey execution. Let's see what they do next... ( )
