INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Hilmo, Tess

(2) 4-6 Ailis and Quinn, orphaned and displaced by fire, endure harsh treatment in a Chicago boardinghouse. Six-year-old fellow orphan Nettie inspires them to find a way out so the three can be a family--but then Nettie is kidnapped, and the novel veers into over-the-top territory. A happy ending comes quickly after all the angst, and readers will cheer the children's good fortune. Bib.
