(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.
