As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Orphan Train Girl by Christina Baker Kline
There is a lot happening in this book. A young girl who is set in current time frame. She's half Native American. Her father died in a car crash and her mother just loses it and now she's in foster care. She meets an elderly women and helps her and ends up hearing her story as an orphan train girl. The story is fine for children's libraries. I had a problem with the book that it was too pat and predictable. I've read other books on the orphan train children, both fiction and non-fiction, this wasn't my favorite.
