The second book in the Orphan Trains Trilogy from writing duo Al and Joanna Lacy
When 62 orphans and abandoned children leave New York City on a train headed out West, they have no idea what to expect. Will they get separated from their friends or siblings? Will their new families love them? Will a family even pick them at all? But their futures are wilder than any of them could imagine, and range from kidnappings and whippings to stowing away on wagon trains, from starting orphanages of their own to serving as missionaries to the Apaches. No matter what, their paths are being watched by someone who cares about--and carefully plans--all of their tomorrows.

I maybe need a little more context to really enjoy this

I'd read this one once before, and I like it a bit better than the first one in the series. It is a sweet story about kids finding new homes. In it, several kids receive Christ into their hearts as well. The simple writing style is designed for children, but I ended up liking it a lot as I got to know the characters and got more into the plot. A fairly well written children's novel overall.

It was a good story, but I thought the dialogue of the characters was too modern for what was supposedly a book set in the 1800s.

This was my second book in the Orphan Trains Trilogy by Al Lacy. I pre-read this book for my sons' US history. It's a good read for 5th/6th grade level. Lacy tastefully writes of the harshness that some children experienced during the Orphan Train era.

The saddest parts were when Denna and Donna were separated and when Denna was beaten.

Good story but not well written
The title says it all. I scammed through most of the book as it was tedious and predictable. Could have been good.

The story starts out in New York in 1874 and tells the stories of several children that had become orphans and are being transported by "The Orphan Train" out West to be adopted by families. The Orphan Train was started in 1854 by Dr. Charles Loring Brace after hearing of more than 30,000 children (orphans or run-aways) living on the streets of New York. For the next 75 years, until the last train in 1929, more than 250,000 children were placed in homes in every western state and territory except Arizona.
This is the second book in a trilogy and introduces a brand new group of orphans on their way out West to find new homes and families.
