A very fast-paced novel for middle grade! I could have read it in one sitting if I had the time!
For most of his life Tom has lived in orphanages. Weatherly Orphanage has been the most trying and cruel of the orphanges. One night he and his friend Sarah escape with the courageous, audacious help of the other orphans. They, however, find themselves in greater danger than being locked up in the attic for a month. Tom has discovered the he may be connected to the Britfields, the rightful heirs to the crown of England. Apparently people have been keeping this history a secret and will do anything to surpress the truth. As Tom and Sarah dash across England, they experience the country's rich history and encouner interesting individuals. Whom can they trust?
I loved the whirlwind tour of England!
*Highly recommend. Two more books in the series so far (Sept 2022).
Warnings: mild language-no swearing-"just"-darn, heck, gosh. Violence-guns are used, and people are shot (no one dies), the kids fight back vs cruel adults/people chasing them, cruelty-in the orphange
-Borrowed from the library.
