Schoolhouse Mystery (Boxcar Children)
I truly love the Boxcar Children series! I find myself particularly enjoying these books! The schoolhouse mystery is one of my favorites. They go to this village by the Sea where Benny's friend says they can't solve a mystery!

The Last Kids on Earth and the Destructor's Lair
I didn't like how quint risk his life to fight Rezzoch. But also didn't like how he died.
P.S goblet helped to do all of this. He was the one who was able to save quint and he also tried to defeat rezzoch. He was close but he got away.

Rabbit's snow dance
My son and I have taken turns reading this book to each other and it was so much fun each time. It’s one of our favorites we keep going back to so we can say “Ee-Ooo thump thump yo yo yo”. We haven’t made it snow yet, but we’ll keep trying.

Old Rock (Is Not Boring)
I liked this book especially the volcano and the rock soaring through the sky and riding in ice. He is very old if he has seen dinosaurs.
