The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner

The Alden children's father has just died of alcoholism. They don't want to live with their grandfather, because he is said to be a hard man disapproved of their parent's marriage. Not wanting to be separated, they builds a home in an abandoned boxcar.

It's very charming read. I really love the details of the children looking up cups and dishes, Henry using the hammer as pillow and building fireplace. I would love it more if I read it as a kid.
