(4) 4-6 Orphan Train Children series. These short novels follow two of the children chaperoned by Frances Mary Kelly from Nixon's Orphan Train series as they leave New York to find homes with families in Missouri. The neatly executed plots are predictable yet entertaining, and the main characters are drawn distinctly enough to engender sympathy. An afterword of historical background and photos from the time period (mid-1800s) accompany each story.
