    About this audiobook

    When four orphaned siblings must flee their town in the middle of the night to avoid being split up, a boxcar in the woods becomes their new home. Thanks to their practical skills, a helpful stray dog, and the kindness of strangers, the brothers and sisters are able to build a new life together. Acclaimed voice actor Jim Weiss reads Gertrude Chandler Warner's 1924 novel with warmth and humor. Length: 2 hours on 2 CDs.
