Synopsis
An orphan train story with Rodzina as its "prickly but endearing heroine" recounts her search for a new family and the discovery that the right family for her is the one she chooses herself, from Newbery medalist Karen Cushman. (School Library Journal, starred). New introduction by Newbery medalist Avi., Rodzina Clara Jadwiga Anastazya Brodski, a strong and stubborn Polish orphan, leaves Chicago on an orphan train, expecting to be adopted and turned into a slave--or worse, not to be adopted at all. As the train rattles westward, she begins to develop attachments to her fellow travelers, even the frosty orphan guardian, and to accept the idea that there might be good homes for orphans--maybe even for a big, combative Polish girl. But no placement seems right for the formidable Rodzina, and she cleverly finds a way out of one unfortunate situation after another until at last she finds the family that is right for her. Like Karen Cushman's other young girl protagonists, Rodzina is trying to find her place in the world--and she does. The compelling narrative is laced with wry humor and keen observation, full of memorable characters, and thoroughly researched, Afterword.
