Wanderville series.
The Wanderville gang is waylaid on their journey to California when they agree to deliver a mysterious medallion to "Mr. Moses McGee" at the St. Louis World's Fair. Some tough older boys, a ruthless smuggler, and a past threat keep the orphans on the run. Some plot elements are overly convenient, but series fans will enjoy the lively pace of this third adventure.

Wanderville 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.
