Welcome to Litsy!

This book is set in the 1850's and talks about a boy named Jip, who is an orphan and was abandoned as an infant. He was mistaken as a gypsy due to his skin color. He agrees to work on a poor farm until he found out what disturbing events were really going on there. Jip meets a best friend, and they hope for freedom and knowledge.

This book would be overwhelming depressing if not a YA novel, without a YA pov & less developed sense of cynicism about the world.
