This is the first graphic novel that highlights on The Boxcar Children series. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden are brothers and sisters. They are also orphans. Their parents died and they had a grandfather that they had never met before- that they didn't think would like them. One night, there was a storm and the children found a red boxcar that they would make their home.
A really neat activity to do with your students would be to read The Boxcar children series and the graphic novel series. Have your student compare/contrast the different texts. Another activity would be to have your students read a book and use this website to create their own comic strip (graphic novel).
