Summary: The Orphan of Ellis Island
Comment: In the book, the Orphan of Ellis Island by Elvira Woodruff, Dominic Cantori, a fifth grader, has somthing he doesn't want to tell. Since Dominic is a orphan, he doesn't want any one to know about his family. While on a class trip to the Museum of Ellis Island, a park ranger asks the kids about their families. Dominic runs away from the group and falls asleep in a nearby closet.
When Dominic wakes up, the museum is deserted and dark. Dominic is scared and picks up the exhibit phones, hoping that this will pass the time and help him forget his fears. He just talks to the recorded voices of immigrants, the people from far away places. Suddenly, an old italian immigrant joins in his conversation. Next thing he knows, Dominic goes back into the world of this old man, in the year 1908.
Dominic meets three kids. Their names are Fransesco, Salvatore, and Antonio Candiano. The three kids are orphan brothers and live in an Italian village in Avaletto, Italy. The kids do have shelter and a friend who is priest named Father Tomasso. The Candiano bothers also have a goat name Violetta. They pick lemons for money. These bothers accept Dominic as family.
The novel is unlike any other novel. The genre is definitely different, with historical fiction and some fantasy making it an adventurous and exciting novel to read.
Our group rates the book, The Orphan of Ellis Island, four out of five stars. we rate the book this because the climax is at the end of the book and the begining of the book is not as interesting as the ending. It is a very good book that once you start, you will never be able to put down.
