This film based on the best-selling book by the same name is unique and entertaining. The story is uplifting and the characters are lovable. The music is wonderful and really brings the story to life. Although, not always full of action, the characters use creative thinking to turn ordinary situations into something exciting and fun to watch. The animations are really cool and there are a lot of scenery changes and interesting scenarios that unfold.
Based on the best selling book, a touching tale of family togetherness that explores themes of personal integrity, generosity and kindness. Four orphaned siblings mysteriously appear in a small town on a warm summer night. No one knows who these young wanderers are or where they have come from.

Time passes and they discover the struggles and rewards of independence as well as the joys of family until one day, Violet gets too sick for the others to care for her.
