* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Benny is Sanguine, Violet is Melancholic, Jessie is Phlegmatic, and Henry, is Choleric.
* [[Orphan's Ordeal]]: The whole plot of the first book.
* [[Outlived Its Creator]]: ''The Boxcar Children'' series had only 19 books by its original creator, Gertrude Chandler Warner. Then, over a decade after her death, Albert Whitman of ''Albert Whitman & Company'' resurrected the series, producing over '''''100''''' more books due to reinterest (including a kid-friendly cookbook). Unsurprisingly, after Warner stopped writing them, [[Canon Discontinuity|continuity went right out the window.]] Notably, a couple pets introduced in her later books suddenly disappear, and sadly the storytelling quality does, too.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
* [[Raised by Grandparents]]
