(2) 4-6 When twelve-year-old Rodzina Brodski boards an orphan train heading west, her outlook is decidedly pessimistic. Like many a Cushman heroine before her, Rodzina is prickly, stubborn, and heart-sore, but she's also honest, likable, and smart. This presentation of the orphan-train saga is solid and thorough, and the story has enough unpredictability to nicely unsettle expectations.
