Spoiler alert for anyone planing to read “The Railway Children”. I overall liked the book “The Railway Children” but there was several things I did not like in the book. For example, Peters stupidity in chapter two , when he steals coal from the railway station and thinks that he is mining coal, even when he’s caught by the Station Master who straight out tells him he’s stealing, he still thinks he’s in trouble for mining the coal, not for stealing it. But I do like the three main characters ability make friends with nearly everyone they meet. But again with Peter, he is not as good at this as his sisters and tries to fight the bargeman in chapter eight when he tells them to stop fishing in the canal because it’s preserved. I do like Bobbies ability to sense what their mother is feeling even when she tries to hide it. Another thing I don’t like about Peter is how mean and short tempered he is with his younger sister Phyllis and with his older sister Roberta, though, with Roberta he is more tolerant.
