I'm a sucker for orphan train stories, and boy, is this a great one. Rodzina is such a forthright, grumpy, kindly character. It's great to get to know her and cheer her on. ( ) Booktalk: Rodzina is 12 years old and all alone in the world. She lived in an orphanage because both her parents are dead. Now, she and a bunch of other orphans are being put on a train west from Chicago. They will stop in small western towns where people will look them over like merchandise at the store and decide if they want to adopt them. Rodzina would just assoon strike out on her own and take care of herself. Her friend Melvin told her that orphans were sold to families out west who wanted slaves. And when she first meets the two old ladies who want to adopt her, Rodzina knows Melvin speaks the truth. read pp 60-61 "We need an older girl...We'll take that chance." It's a long train ride to find a place where she belongs, but sometimes good things come to those who wait.
