This young readers edition of Christina Baker Klines #1 New York Times bestselling novel Orphan Train follows a young 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 elderly woman clean out her attic for community service, Molly is wary. Just another adult to treat her like a troublemaker. But from the very moment they meet, Molly realizes that Vivian, a well-off ninety-one-year-old, isnt like any of the adults shes encountered before. Vivian asks Molly questions about her life and actually listens when Molly responds. Molly soon sees they have more in common than she thought. Vivian was once an orphan, tooan Irish immigrant to New York City who was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other childrenand 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 for their future.
