The beloved children’s classic book series The Boxcar Children Mysteries is celebrating their 70th Anniversary this year. With more than 150 titles and over 50 million copies in print the success of this book series is very evident. What better way to celebrate a 70th anniversary than with an animal film scheduled for 2013? That’s right, our favorite family of little detectives is becoming a Boxcar Children movie! I am so excited. As a child I devoured these books, and I want to pass my love for The Boxcar Children on to my girls. We have read the first few pages of book one and my girls really want to continue with the book.
