Orphan Trains

More than 120,000 orphans were placed with Midwestern families during the 19th Century thanks to the Orphan Train movement and the Children's Aid Society. With extensive research, real photos, and carefully crafted narrative nonfiction, Orphan Trains tells the stories of seven of those children.
For ages 9-12.
