Tis girl shows bravery as she travels insearch of a new home now she is an orphan. she os funny too. and her homes she has to escape from are awful. read to see if rodzina will find what she is looking for. also recommended are the midwife's apprentice, the camp of the angel, the bear's house. And the Little house books.
Rating: 5
Summary: Beautifully done
Comment: This is a wonderful book. Big, grouchy Rodzina is a character with great appeal, vulnerable, strong, and funny. Her bleak situation makes for good suspense and real shudders, since we know that many orphan children actually did find themselves sent out West on trains with the (often unfounded) hope that they'd be adopted by decent families. Cushman brings this episode in history very much alive. Readers will be amused, informed (never heavy-handedly), and moved.
Rating: 5
Summary: Love, Wisdom, and Perserverence
Comment: This book is just as fun for kids as Harry Potter. Like Harry Potter Rodzina has lost both her parents, but unlike Harry Potter she lacks all the magic and charm. The book is more of a historical fiction set in the 1800s. It tells the story of destitute orphans made to live with rural families as free child labor. This is the story of one of those orphans. Rodzina, proud of her Polish heritage, and unwilling to lose her identity, struggles to maintain her self-worth living with a family that treats her like a commodity. Two other books I highly recommend for children are: The Butterfly (Jay Singh) and The Little Prince (Saint-Exupery). And the one book I supremely recommend to all: The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho).
