In 1860, life in New York City’s slums is hard and dangerous. For a widow with six children, it is impossible. So when Mrs. Kelly learns of the Children’s Aid Society, she sees a way to provide for her children. They will be sent west on an “orphan train” to families eager for help on their farms. Thirteen-year-old Mary Frances is confused and angry. How could a mother send her children away? At her new home in Missouri, however, Mary Frances is surprised to discover that the kind family provides a refuge on the Underground Railroad.

My Fifth Graders Loved This!
Revisado: 08-18-18
My fifth grade class reads this every year. I decided this year to have them listen to the audiobook while following along in their books. The author really made the book come alive for them, down to the mother's Irish accent. They looked forward to it each day!
The book itself was a wonderful story about family and sacrifice. It offered much needed perspective for many of my students, including me!
