(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old orphan Etta takes refuge in an abandoned cottage along the Farmington Canal, a cottage already occupied by a boy hiding from his abusive father. The familiar story of wayfaring children joining forces for a new family group is briskly told and nicely integrated here with a little-known, and revealing, piece of social history revolving around the canal.
