(2) 4-6 Margaret finds herself at the Hopeton Orphanage, whose proprietress is a baddie straight out of Dahl. Margaret learns she can communicate with moths and, with their help, incites her orphan compatriots to rise up, leading to a satisfying, humorous climax. Lightness of narrative tone affords the story's thought-provoking, dark, and poignant moments their place without slowing momentum.
