First, the plot had a great conflict and it was full of suspense. The Boxcar children are on the way to a science fair, but they are forced to stay at the bus station when a storm hits. While waiting at the bus station, the Boxcar children notice strange things about the bus station manager and the two strange boys who seem to linger around outside. Second, the characters in this story were developed very well. Each character introduced in the beginning of the story played important roles throughout the story. The bus station manager and the two strange boys outside ended up having a connection together in the science fair to save a local river. Lastly, the language in this story was very descriptive and keeps readers involved. It helped accurately picture what is going on in the story as well as make connections that keeps you turning the page. "Pickett's Paints-- that was the name on the envelope he had handed Frank. The Oakdale bus driver had given Frank a package for the Pickett factory". While going to a science and hobby fair, the boxcar children are waylaid for an hour at a bus station. They observe contradictory actions from the station manager and two boys hanging around. At the fair they see some controversy over a paint factory that is polluting the river. Why is everyone behaving this way, and is there a solution for the river that will keep the paint factory? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The bus station itself makes for a pretty interesting setting and the characters are ... mostly fine. On one hand, if people would just talk a bit more, there would be rather less mystery. On the other hand, the Aldens are strangers sticking their noses in the whole mess, so why would everyone want to talk to them in the first place.
And then there's this:
This is just... bizarre. Is water treatment such a mystery? I fully expect that Mr. Pickett wasn't cleaning the water because it was cheaper and no one was forcing him to, not because he didn't know how... It just feels... weird.
It's fine. But certainly not one of the best books of the series.
