Shout! Factory The Boxcar Children - Surprised Island ~ #Review #Giveaway

I had no idea Boxcar Children are classic children stories.  Did you know there are over 150 books?  Did you read them when you were a kid?

In this DVD, the children had a choice to stay on the island by themselves with Joe and Captain Daniel for the summer.  You watch the children on their daily island adventures like fishing and exploring caves.  It is kinda interesting to see the kids very tame and very responsible.  If my kids were left on the island, they would run around like crazy and bicker at each other.  The movie is very calming and lighthearted movie.  Slowly, Joe has integrated into the childrens' lives.  But who is Joe?  Why is someone looking for him?  You will find out who he is in the movie.  I enjoyed the movie and I think your kids might like it too.

Los Angeles, CA – Small island. Big adventure!
