Review by Nathan:
This book tells the story of six children who lived in New York with their mother (their father had died.) Their mother eventually decids that a better life awaits her children out west. So she sends them out on an Orphan Train. This devastated the children and some were very angry. Ma makes Frances the oldest promise to stick with Petey (the youngest) so Frances pretends to be a boy in hopes of being picked together. They soon travel out west with a few adventures on the way.
Once there, they are broken up and taken to several families. Frances in able to stay with Petey and all the children but Mike (oldest boy) find a good home.
This is the first book in Orphan Train Adventures.
I enjoyed this book especially since I like historical fiction.
