She is having a party and invites everyone,except the twins. Jessica spills Ithing,after Elizabeth and Jessica promised Mr.Wakefield not to tell the secret langauge.Even the new teacher picks it up.

it was the saddest book in the series!

it was so sad! peggy has to help her new friend,violet, deliver messages and they have lots of adventures,but thats not the sad part.the author kills off my favorite character! (don't worry-i won't give it away) and the character is so brave and probably would have done great things.the person was sensitive,nice,and loved their family.i think you definetly have to read this,but be prepared! your heart will break in two when the character says his/her last goodbye.

I read the first orphan train book in school to years ago and I loved it from then on I read all of them. This one by far is the best it is full of mystery and suspense and you should defintly buy it.
