Book Review 1 : The Railway Children


I read The Railway Children. The book was written by E. Nesbit. The part of the first sentence, it was written "they were not railway children." I got very confused tring to make sense of the sentence. Becausebthe title is The Railway Children. I became to know this story more.

Three children appeared in the story. Their name are Roberta, Peter and Phyllis in chronological order. They are a happy family with no problems in life. But suddenly their father goes away. The children have to live with their mother without knowing why father gone. One day Peter take the coal from the station. Because it's cold and Mother says coal is too expensive for us to have a fire. Thought he is detected by the Station Master, the Station Master let him go. They became a new friend. Many things happen around the childeren. They helped many people and make many friends.

Finally, the children can see their father. This book was very interesting for me.
