Synopsis

The Boxcar Children are helping out at a pizzeria. The pizzeria is run by their old friends the Piccolos, who’ve been having lots of troubles keeping their business going. Working at the little restaurant is so much fun, but the children wonder . . . is someone deliberately trying to shut down Piccolos’ Pizzeria?

About The Author

The Boxcar Children Series was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner, a teacher, when she realized that there were few, if any, books for children that were both easy and fun to read. She drew on her own experiences in writing the mysteries. As a child, she had spent hours watching trains near her home, and often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car. In each story, she chose a special setting and introduced unpredictable, unusual or eccentric characters, to help highlight the Aldens’ independence and resourcefulness. Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Massachusetts until her death in 1979.

This one had food (and it’s even in the title)! 4 stars, BUT I’m grading this one on a curve since it’s my favorite so far and since my five year old has loved all the others and we’ve given those 3 stars. The Boxcar Children save a mom and pop pizza business that’s having hard times due to “big bus......more

Goodreads review by Erin Lee on November 08, 2015

The Piccolo family must be peopled with saints. I wouldn't be as tolerant and forgiving as they had been, not just with the saboteurs and the shenanigans, but with the people that were supposed to be loyal to them but were so wishy-washy. And I'm a little baffled as to why Grandfather Alden would le......more
