Orphan Train Impression

Orphan Train written by Christina Baker Kline is about a teenage girl Molly who has to do 50 hours of community service to avoid going to juvie. Molly's community service takes place in an old woman, named Vivian's house. Molly is going to help her clean and organize her attic. At first, Molly is a really negative person and is dreading her community service and everything about going to Vivians. Mollys community service turns into much more than just helping some old woman. She ends up learning a lot about Vivians life and how they have gone through similar things. In the end, Molly ends up helping Vivian reunite with her family. Although, I didnt really enjoy reading this book I felt that this novel was actually very-well written and I found it very interesting. What I did enjoy about this book is how Christina Baker Kline included flashbacks from Vivians childhood to really capture the mood of all the different aspects of each character being portrayed.
