The Boxcar Children: Difference between revisions

* [[Comic Book Time]]: Initially set in the depression era, more recent books have included passenger jets, tropical cruises, and the internet. They have a different summer adventure in every book, and they're all still young somehow...

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: If the culprit of whatever mystery they're solving has any decency in him/her at all, he'll be reconciled to the Aldens right away.

* [[Orphans 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 Dis Continuity|continuity went right out the window.]] Notably, a couple pets introduced in her later books suddenly disappear, and sadly the storytelling quality does, too.
