Description: Orphan Train Girl by Christina Baker Kline "The young readers edition of Orphan train." FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This young readers edition of Christina Baker Klines #1 New York Times bestselling novel Orphan Train follows a twelve-year-old foster girl who forms an unlikely bond with a ninety-one-year-old woman. Adapted and condensed for a young audience, Orphan Train Girl includes an authors note and archival photos from the orphan train era. This book is especially perfect for mother/daughter reading groups. Molly Ayer has been in foster care since she was eight years old. Most of the time, Molly knows its her attitude thats the problem, but after being shipped from one family to another, shes had her fair share of adults treating her like an inconvenience. So when Mollys forced to help an a wealthy elderly woman clean out her attic for community service, Molly is wary. But from the moment they meet, Molly realizes that Vivian isnt like any of the adults shes encountered before. Vivian asks Molly questions about her life and actually listens to the answers. Soon Molly sees they have more in common than she thought. Vivian was once an orphan, too--an Irish immigrant to New York City who was put on a so-called "orphan train" to the Midwest with hundreds of other children--and she can understand, better than anyone else, the emotional binds that have been making Mollys life so hard. Together, they not only clear boxes of past mementos from Vivians attic, but forge a path of friendship, forgiveness, and new beginnings. Review Quote "Quietly moving." -- ALA Booklist "Klines prose is fluid and draws readers into the characters, and each chapters cliffhanger ending keeps the pages turning. Part coming-of-age novel, part historical fiction, this book will appeal to a wide range of readers." -- BookPage.com "Kline expertly weaves the dual narratives of both [characters] as the two form a healing friendship.With a mix of historical and contemporary settings, this successful adaptation of an adult novel is likely to appeal to both young and old." -- School Library Journal Details ISBN0062445944 Author Christina Baker Kline Pages 240 Publisher Harpercollins Publishers Inc Year 2017 ISBN-10 0062445944 ISBN-13 9780062445940 Format Hardcover Media Book Publication Date 2017-11-30 Audience Age 8-12 Language English DEWEY [Fic] Audience Children/Juvenile Imprint HarperCollins Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2017-11-30 NZ Release Date 2017-11-30 US Release Date 2017-11-30 UK Release Date 2017-11-30 Imprint US HarperCollins Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
