Thursday's Child by Noel Streatfeild*

 Margaret Thursday has been living with Miss Sylvia and Miss Selina Cameron since she was a baby and left in a church. Each year her mother or a living relative leaves gold in the church to cover her expenses.This year the rector discovers a note; the money has run out. Since the Cameron sisters are aging and have limited funds, Margaret must be transferred to an orphange. The orphange is reputed to be a godly one. The matron, however, is abusive. Margaret meets three other orphans during her transfer. The foursome commit to each other and have adventures as they support each other.

The point of view switches between Margaret and Lavinia.

*Highly recommend.
