A good book

This book was a really good book. I love the type book, it is set back in history when orphans used to ride trains to be adopted by whoever had a good heart. This book was excellent, though not as good as the other three in the Orphan Train series because it did drag in areas because it was a much longer book. I do reccomend this book as well as the whole series as a must read
