Teacher Tuesday: Orphan Train

I thought I'd share another of my favorite books that I read recently. Love, love, loved Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. Like I mentioned in my last post about a book that I read, I didn't know I liked these historical fiction type of books, but I loved it! 

I'm including the summary FROM AMAZON here!

From Amazon:

Orphan Train is a gripping story of friendship and second chances from Christina Baker Kline, author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be.

Penobscot Indian Molly Ayer is close to “aging out” out of the foster care system. A community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping Molly out of juvie and worse...

As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly learns that she and Vivian aren’t as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance.

Molly discovers that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life – answers that will ultimately free them both.

Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are.

When I just looked up the description to include here, I noticed that Amazon has a pretty good price on it! Check it out below for your Kindle or "real book" version. :) Do yourself a favor, slow down, and read a book!
