The Long Ride Home (Paperback)

Bert and his sister, Emma, take a long train ride from New York to Iowa, where there are families willing to adopt orphans like them. Bert may need to face separation from his sister in order to work on a farm. He has a lot of lessons to learn about living on a farm, but more important than milking cows and collecting eggs, he has to learn about kindness, bravery, and family. Will he find a home in Iowa or will he take the long ride back to New York?
