4-6Wanderville series.
In this second book, the Wanderville kids hop a train to California to escape orphan trains, cruel adults, and sheriffs. Their scheme is derailed first when they realize they're mistakenly headed east and then when a firm but fair reverend offers them a home. The kids realistically contend with racial tensions, adult hypocrisy, and threats to their shared vision.
