Surprise Island

Für Kinder der 5. oder 6. Klasse, die Spaß hätten, ein "echtes" Buch auf Englisch zu lesen, ist diese Serie genau das richtige...

I have been looking for this book for so many years, highly recommended, especially part 1.

お祖父さんと暮らすようになったHenry,Jessie,Violet, Benny。夏休みを、お祖父さんが持っている小さな島で、子どもたちだけで過ごすことになります。まるでBoxcarで暮らしていたときのようで、4人は大喜び。そして、その島では驚きの発見が待っていました。Boxcarの時とは違って、今回は、なにもかもお祖父さんが手回しをしてくれてる状況での、安心できるキャンプ生活。でも、子どもたちがあんまり素直に、真剣に楽しんでるもんで、こっちも楽しくなります。お祖父さんの、溺愛ぶりが微笑ましいです。

This is an awesome book. For young children, this is great for getting them interested in reading. It captures attention and gets them emotionally involved in the characters. Considering this book is an early volume in a large series, if you get it you can ensure you'll have options available to continue on with your child's love for reading.If your child doesn't like to read, try reading this book, or even the first one, to him or her, and then letting them continue on, as they'll surely want to be involved in more of the Walden's adventures.

Great Series!! I purchased Books 1-4, for an 8-year old...she absolutely loves them. She enjoys reading regardless; however, since she is required to read 30-minutes every night for school, the chapter books come in very handy. More often than not, she reads beyond her 30-minutes, because she wants to finish a certain chapter, and on a few occasions, she has completed the entire book before going to bed. The stories are great, fun, interesting, the illustrations are okay. She looks forward to following the main characters throughout the different series. Highly recommend the books, and will definitely be purchasing additional series.  Surprise Island (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #2)Surprise Island (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #2)
