Description
The Railway Children is an iconic children's book, which narrates the events experienced by three children—Roberta (Bobbie), Peter, and Phyllis—who lose their father's company under mysterious circumstances and this event shatters their rather luxurious life in London. The family relocates to a small house in the countryside close to a railway track where the children soon make friends with the local stationmaster, a nice old man, and other railway workers. As they engage in various activities and do good to others, they gain the virtues of bravery, love, and patience. The tale finally exposes the mystery of their father’s abduction and also illustrates how love and hope of the family can survive even in the worst conditions.

I like this book generally because it teaches me to never give up just like Wonder, read this one time and it is a good classic.
