(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.

(4) 4-6 Orphan Train Adventures series. When the Kellys' widowed mother realizes she cannot care for her six children in New York City, she sends them west to Missouri on the orphan train. Set during the Civil War, the books describe the adventures of the children, who, to their dismay, are placed in different homes. Readers will be drawn in by the drama; unfortunately, these large-print editions of the popular series are bound in unattractive, institutional covers.
