There was a family called the Bobseys. There children Nan, Bert, Freddie, and Flossie had found out that there neighbors had a railroad track and train that they didn't need anymore. They immediately went over there and said they wanted it so they got it for free. They fixed it and put the track in the peoples yard who gave them the railroad. They were the Dodges. When it was ready they went and played with it for hours. Soon they decided that they would have a party. After inviting 28 children they knew that only 6 people could fit at a time. Bert invited his friend Charlie. Bert was tired of running it so he taught Charlie how to use it. All the children couldn't wait to go on so Charlie had to start it. While they were going on a turn Charlie hit the wrong thing so the train which rolled down the hill. Everyone ran to see if the children were all right. They called there train The iron horse because it was in a barn. I liked this book because books that solve mysteries are my favorite.

The Bobbsey Twins Own Little Railroad- Laura Lee Hope


I started reading the book about the Bobbsey Twins. They are in the same family with two sets of twins, the younger twins are Freddie and Flossie and the older twins are Bert and Nan. The books are about mystery and are like a puzzle. The railroad mystery starts when the tracks disappear and then the train.


The Bobbsey Twins neighbor Mr.Dodge used to have children, now they are all grown up. When he had children they owned a little railroad. Mr.Dodge let the twins have it. When the twins went to see it, they put the tracks in the yard. They put the train on the track and went in the miniature train ,they road on it over and over again. Finally it was time to go. The next day they went to see the train, this time Mr.Dodge was there,when he saw the tracks he said there there was more tracks.


I liked this book because books of mystery and thinking are my favorite type of book.
