City of Orphans


I really liked this one!
13 year old Macks is a newsie (sells news papers) in the busy streets of New York. Macks has 2 older sisters and 3 younger brothers, and a mom and dad. And then there is Bruno and his gang. They call themselves Ugly Puglies, and they are not nice. They steel and beat up the newsies and steal their daily earnings. Macks runs into a girl on the street, Willa. She is dirty and smells, but she saved Macks from the Ugly Puglies so he decides to take her home so she can live with him and hi family. His sister Emma is charged for stealing a watch at the Waldorf Hotel. She is sent to the Tombs ( jail).
I really liked this book. It was full of adventure and hardships. I would rate this a 5 out of 5.
