About this audiobook
Four children: Henry, Jess Violet and Bennie. They are living alone in a stranded boxcar.
They find items they need from the dump and a stray dog whom they name Watch. Henry earns money by working for a man named Dr. McAllister and his mother, Mrs. McAllister.
But, while they are living their daily lives, little do they know that the McAllisters are watching their every move.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the story - it reminded me of my childhood when the teachers at elementary school would read it. The issue is that every chapter is read by someone different with varying audio qualities and they state their name, the chapter, name of the book, and company before every new chapter.
