5.0 out of 5 stars This book was great!, 16 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Family Apart (Orphan Train Adventures) (Paperback)

My teacher read my class this book last school year. I thought it was great! It had tons of suspense and sorrow. I hadn't read a book quite like it for a long time. I was scared and upset right along with the six Kelly children. Many of the school books I only read because I had to. It was totaly differnt with this one. As soon as I started reading it I couldn't stop. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

I loved it and it made me cry. The compassion Mrs. Kelly shows for her children is overwhelming. The character portrayals were excellent.
