Description

This young readers’ edition of Christina Baker Kline’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel Orphan Train follows a twelve-year-old foster girl who forms an unlikely bond with a ninety-one-year-old woman.

Adapted and condensed for a young audience, Orphan Train Girl includes an creator’s note and archival photos from the orphan train era. This book is especially perfect for mother/daughter reading groups.

Molly Ayer has been in foster care since she used to be eight years old. More often than not, Molly knows it’s her attitude that’s the problem, but after being shipped from one circle of relatives to another, she’s had her fair share of adults treating her like an inconvenience. So when Molly’s forced to help an a wealthy elderly woman clean out her attic for community service, Molly is wary. 

But from the moment they meet, Molly realizes that Vivian isn’t like any of the adults she’s encountered before. Vivian asks Molly questions about her life and in reality listens to the answers.

Soon Molly sees they have got more in common than she thought. Vivian used to be once an orphan, too—an Irish immigrant to New York City who used to be put on a so-referred to as “orphan train” to the Midwest with hundreds of other children—and she can bear in mind, better than somebody else, the emotional binds which have been making Molly’s life so hard.

Together, they not only clear boxes of past mementos from Vivian’s attic, but forge a path of friendship, forgiveness, and new beginnings.
