It was a great book because I liked what the children did. It was also lovely because I liked all the things I got to read about trains.

I loved this book - the children always seemed to have a different adventure every day in the country. There is also a very happy ending for the children. My favourite character was Bobbie as she was clever, brave and kind. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.

It was a fairly nice book but it didn't much have a story behind it, which is something I would rather avoid. Even so, the characters are nicely described and on the whole they are well thought of. Altogether, I would say anyone who likes to learn and hear a tale at he same time should definitely try this book out.

A timeless classic - this must be on everyone's reading list. The vocabulary is old fashioned but don’t let that stop you from reading it - I really liked the descriptions of the steam trains.

I read The Railway Children by E. Nesbit. I liked it because there were lots of dramatic moments in the story. My favourite character is Phyllis because of how she is a a peacekeeper between the rows the children get into. In would definitely recommend this to anyone over the age of 9

It was amazing how three kids save the railway when a small landslide collapses over the railway near their home. Their is also an old gentleman who helps them save their father who was framed. I would recommend this book to people who like adventures set in the olden days with happy endings.

I liked it when they found their daddy.

The book is better than the film. The personalities of the characters are not right in the film.
