Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

In this bare-bones graphic-novel adaptation of a Boxcar Children story, the Alden children move with their grandfather into a lighthouse and are given cause to wonder about a local fisherman’s son as well as what is disturbing their own dog in the nighttime. Awkward art dangles the children’s expressions between manga and unexplained sadness, while the original independence of the foursome in the text novels is undercut by Grandfather’s regular interventions here. The attraction of a dependable cast and comfortable pacing makes this good for collections where the series has gained popularity. Grades 2-4. --Francisca Goldsmith

From the Inside Flap

The Aldens stay in an old lighthouse and investigate a suspicious neighbor.
