(4) 4-6 Orphan Train Adventures series. A present-day museum "interpreter" tells four visiting children about two young people who lived in mid-1700s Williamsburg: Ann learns her dream of being a doctor is unacceptable, and young slave Caesar yearns for freedom but settles for being a personal servant. The historical detail in the narratives is intrusive. Thirty pages of endnotes, a recipe, and a town map are appended to these Colonial Williamsburg tie-ins.
