Returning east later in life, Vivian leads a quiet, peaceful existence on the coast of Maine, the memories of her upbringing rendered a hazy blur. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall.

A Penobscot Indian who has spent her youth in and out of foster homes, Molly is also an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Baker Kline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0061950726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061950728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e168412 \/ Orphan Train\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2012 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/11\/2013 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 36 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2013 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/08\/2013 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/09\/2013 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/22\/2015 pg. 28","brand":"Christina Baker Kline","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053370142975,"sku":"9780061950728","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_996cdab1-ef0a-407b-a748-3ef50a0ad906.jpg?v=1685023965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orphan-train-christina-baker-kline-9780061950728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
