Another great book,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Changes For Samantha (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (American Girls Collection: Samantha 1904) (School & Library Binding)
This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Samantha Parkington, a nine-year-old orphan girl living in the America of 1904. In this book, Samantha is appalled when she learns that the parents of her friend Nellie have died of influenza, and now she and her sisters are in an orphanage. Nellie isn't too unhappy, as she can stay together with her sisters, but when Nellie is scheduled to ride an Orphan Train out West, Samantha must take action.The final chapter of this book contains a highly informative chapter on life in 1904 America. This is another excellent American Girls book. This book certainly shows the seamier side of the "good old days." In this book, the treatment of orphans is covered. My daughter and I recommend this book very highly.
