Catch a ferry to the 1904 World's Fair with the orphans of Wanderville!
The orphans of Wanderville have decided to never again let themselves be confused by adults offering
them shiny red apples and warm beds. They’re going to make their way to California and establish a more
permanent spot for Wanderville.
But when they’re suddenly left without means of transportation, the orphans must find a new way of
getting to their “town.” Enter a dandy motorist with a proposition: If the orphans agree to take a
mysterious artifact to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair on his behalf, they will receive a handsome
reward that will allow them to book passage west.
The citizens of Wanderville conclude that this is their best bet. What they don’t realize, however, is
just how treacherous the journey to the fair will be and how much they will need to sacrifice to finally
find themselves a new home.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for the Wanderville series:
“… A page-turner that will have readers eagerly waiting for the next installment. For those who want
more background, the book includes a brief explanation of the Orphan Train Movement. Readers may wonder
how children can survive on their own. Here, the strong characters make it plausible.” —Booklist
“McClure celebrates bravery, ingenuity, and the bonds of family and friendship in this old-fashioned
story of children fending for themselves, building a community, and eluding the adults who seek them…
Readers should enjoy vicariously participating in the children’s independence and will appreciate their
hard-earned triumphs.”—Publishers Weekly
“Readers will be swept away by the bravery of the young heroes… Readers of series fiction who enjoy
learning about the past will gravitate toward this accessible novel and will be impatient for the
sequel.”—School Library Journal
"The idea of a kid-run town in the woods and all the rustically domestic details that entails will
appeal greatly to the same kind of kids who love the Boxcar Children’s hidden home." —Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books
"A thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced adventure." —Caroline Starr Rose, author of May B
