Blue Train posted:Boxcar children were often sexually abused at the hands of the destitute who would ride the rails, it's hosed up they'd use that as a premise for childrens books Do you even know what the boxcar children was about? They didn't actively ride the rails they lived in a box car that they found in the woods for a few nights. It was an abandoned box car and they made a house out of it. It wasn't Even on a railroad.They've never actually rode the rails. Please get a clue. Also their grandfather found them and moved their boxcar to his mansion.

All of these stories are about well off children (who are so sheltered they behave as if they are mildly autistic) having extremely milquetoast "adventures" such as: -camping for three days without any servants to wait on them -forcing an elderly poor person to sell a small piece of real estate for less than market value, condemning their remaining years to desperation and squalor (old man Whithers "haunted" amusement park) -using their limitless free time to oppress the underclass by exposing acts of petty larceny committed out of desperation (The case of the missing heart shaped pendant)

In fact the boxcar children have done more work than most millenials.

Yes what a grand adventure, to throw a tantrum, run away, and play at manual labor briefly before wealthy grandpa whisks you away to a life of luxury

 For some reason i used to read "The Three Investigators" a lot when I was a kid. I probably thought they were the Hardy Boys and didn't know the difference

Naem isn't usually this cranky, I'm a little concerned. On topic: Enid Blyton's Adventure Series was the BEST. I mean, those kids got the best of spies and gun runners and mad scientists!

I read a lot of Box Car Kids stories, which in retrospect were really hosed up because it's a bunch of hobo kids with no parents living in a derelict box car. lol

canpakes posted:I remeber one of these books, but I don't know specifically what iI was . Possibly encyclopedia Brown. And a store got robbed and a knife was plunged into a watermelon. And the case was cracked because a guy said "my knife has a longer blade than that" even though you couldn't see the blade because it was all the way in the watermelon. That's not evidence. What was this book I read some Encyclopedia Brown books when I was a kid. One case I recall was particularly bad. It involved a quiz where a person had to think of a word that had three letters in a row, two of them each (like aabbcc). One of the contestants said she couldn't think of an answer and then Encyclopedia Brown was like, "your occupation is bookkeeper so you definitely know a word that fits this description. Therefore you're lying and this proves you're guilty of the crime!" I was like... even if that's her job, that doesn't mean the word is going to come to mind. Encyclopedia Brown, that's pretty weak.

*Spoiler Alert* In the last book of the series Nancy Drew becomes pregnant and is trying to find who the daddy is. She finds out it is Detective Finnegan because after the baby is born he has red hair and Finnegan is the only potential father with red hair. Detective Finnegan is fired and sent to jail for having sex with underaged Nancy. Nancy is left without a baby-daddy for support and has to become a strip-tease dancer to support herself.

I remember the hardy boys used to fuckin slay people in the solar plexus all the time. As a child I thought it was a fancy word for kicking in the balls. An American boy came to my school for a year and his dad bought a whole set of hardy boys books for the school library. It was a great day, chucking down those poo poo Enid blighton books and grabbing some red hot hb action. It was decided that the heroic twosome slamming out villains with their athletic bods was too much violence for us gay British preteens and they were locked away in a cupboard never to be seen again.
