Customer Reviews

It's hard to find sweet yet unpredictable books.

Three girls - Cat, Josie, and Becka - are thirteen years old and the oldest orphans at their orphanage. Though they sometimes dream about it, each knows inside that they have very little chance of being adopted. Suddenly, they have an opportunity when a family named Morgan wants to adopt an older girl. Each spends several days at the family's house, and each has different opinions - but all of them want a chance at being adopted. Whom will the Morgans pick? Will the three competitive friends be separated for the first time?

My Feelings

This book was one of the best books I've ever read. It's not that often you come across a book that tells so much about how orphans feel and act. I'm in middle school and I feel I can really connect with some of the characters even with an age difference. I recomend this book to you with 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

Excellent book- as I recall.

I read this book years ago, and it stands out in my mind as being one of the best I ever read. In a world of Sweet Valley High and R. L. Stine, there should be more books like this on the market to tip the scales. Two thumbs up.
