Product Description

Ingram

Danny and his younger sister, Peg, are placed in St. Joseph, Missouri, with kind Alfrid and Olga Swenson. Danny is thrilled to have a "real" father again, but when Olga suddenly dies, he is devastated--until he thinks of an ingenious plan to find Alfrid a new wife. HC: Starfire. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

The Orphan Train Quartet follows the story of the six Kelly children, whose widowed mother has sent them west from New York City in 1856 because she realizes she cannot give them the life they deserve.

Danny and his younger sister Peg feel lucky to be adopted by kind Alfrid and Olga Swenson in St. Joseph, Missouri. But when Olga dies suddenly, the children fear they will lose their wonderful new family.

Danny comes up with an ingenious plan so they won't be separated, and which might even bring his real family back together. Then Danny runs into a phony doctor he knew from New York City, who recognizes him. Can Danny protect himself and those he loves from the evil doctor and still make his plan work? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, Nov 7 2006

By	Jennifer Wright "Jenn Wright" (Edmonton Alberta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Place to Belong (Mass Market Paperback)

This series inspired me, as a young girl, to become the writer I am today. I still laugh and cry, just as hard, every time I read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Place To Belong, Sep 13 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Place to Belong (Mass Market Paperback)

When the six Kelly children are split up Danny then sees a fake doctor he heard about in New York while at a medicine show out West. When he reveals the phony doctor's secret to everyone there, the doctor decides to hunt Danny down. It is a race to catch each other first before the other one catches you. A dramatic, heart-warming story filled with love, joy, and the importance of family.

By A Customer

This review is from: A Place to Belong (Library Binding)

This is a great book. I wouldn't recommend reading this book before: A Family Apart, Caught in the Act, and In the Face of Danger. It is the last book a Quartet about the Kelly children. Unless you don't want to read the first three I suggest you read A Place to Belong last.
