(3) 4-6 New York City orphans Frances and Harold are put on a train to Kansas and promised a better life. After they hear of horrible working situations that await, they escape with new friend Jack and find Wanderville, a kids' community fueled by camaraderie and imagination. Based on the early-twentieth-century Orphan Train Movement, this is palatable historical fiction, first in a projected series.
