Runaways are at the highest risk to be abducted or assaulted, physically or sexually. It's a scary place. Your sensory description of the character creeps the reader out as much as Cody. Your choice of dialogue the character uses shows the reader what he is like without you having to tell anything. Well done.

So clever
Comment from Sankey
Very good. For some reason I missed this chapter and I have read the next one pretty sure. No spags and again a great suspenseful read. Looking forward to where it goes next. have a feeling I have been to the end of this already.

Comment from Sis Cat
This is a riveting chapter which drew me because of recent books I have read about hoboing: Jack London's "The Road" and Jack Kerouac's "The Dharma Bums." You are right, hoboing is unsafe for children like Cody because of leeches such as the hobo in this boxcar. Your story thrilled me and held my attention. Your cliffhanger makes me wonder what will happen next. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, dear. Poor Cody. Isn't there an emergency string they can pull to alert the driver to trouble? Or was that only on buses?
Great description of the hobo. :)

Another fine episode in the Cody series.
He's got himself in a fix. That's for sure.
This hobo has bad intentions and waits it out knowing Cody can't escape the boxcar.

You have put your MC in a dangerous situation, which draws the reader in. Good job creating suspense. You did well describing Cody jumping on the train, as well as his other actions (backing away, looking for an escape route). Excellent description of the hobo, complete with smells.

Comment from Ogden
The story has a decent plot and potential.
In a nutshell - The hobo's description is well-drawn, albeit his speech more than a mite corny. The boy in the illustration, although appealing, seems much too young for derring-do.
I hope these observations are helpful.

Comment from Ulla
Hi there, well Cody ran away from home and hopped on a freight train, and now he is in the thick of it. That is the danger of running away as a child and end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hope he gets out of this one. All the best. Ulla:)

Scary, frightening account of what could be the fate of any child who hops a freight train.
Realistic and well told.
Look forward to next chapter.
