I loved this book as a child and read it over and over again.

A thrilling adventure set in a little-known period of history. It amazes me the level of poverty that was widespread in Britain within living memory. This book delves into the astonishing practice of shipping orphans -- or supposed orphans -- without contacting relatives, off to Canada and Australia, which continued into the middle of the last century.

The only drawback as bedtime reading was that the story was so exciting (and disturbing) that we couldn't really stop once we were half way through.
