Listen "The Boxcar Children"
Episode Synopsis
Who wanted to be one of The Boxcar Children growing up? Boxcar Ashley and Boxcar Kaycee sure did, and today they’re talking about the first book in the series and #116 The Ghost at the Drive-In. Topics of discussion also include their teenage hack for staying out past curfew, why a group of kids with no supervision would continue to follow the rules of society, and the cultural differences between when The Boxcar Children was initially released in 1924 and its resurgence in 1942. Plus, Kaycee has a theory about why the Boxcar Children keep running into so many different mysteries.
