I found myself fascinated all the way through, not just with the events of this journey, but also with the delightful characters.Rodzina Brodski, a 12-year-old Polish orphan girl from Chicago, and two dozen other children were put on an orphan train headed west in the hope that they could be adopted by good families. Not every family wants a child to love and cuddle, however. In the early 1880s, westerners were mostly hard-scrabble ranchers, farmers and miners, who needed a hard worker with a strong back, not another mouth to feed.The story of Rodzina, as she grows from grouchy and sad to a more hopeful and independent girl is one that evolves, as she faces two women who want her for her labor, and later, a man who wants her to replace his dying wife.This is my favorite kind of book -- spunky characters, fun to read, and along the way I learn something!Recommended for girls 9-12 -- and I enjoyed it, too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for young readers *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019* Used it for class and was a hit with students. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cushman Does It Again *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2003* A gaggle of orphans leaves Chicago, bound west toward slavery or worse--at least that's the prevailing opinion among the children. Rodzina, a twelve year old Polish immigrant who lost her family to fire and illness, narrates this journey with humor, candor, sadness, and humanity. As the miles click away, we learn something of the time and places through which we are taken. In the tradition of Lucy Whipple, Catherine Called Birdy, and Matilda Bone, Rodzina is another example of a strong girl making sense of her desperate situation. This book is perfect for children in grades four through nine, and for fans of children's literature no matter what age. Karen Cushman is a gifted storyteller. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/52542090-rodzina-paperback-february-9-2016](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/52542090-rodzina-paperback-february-9-2016) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
