Reading a fanfiction about a boy in an orphanage made me want to read a book or two about a kid in an orphanage. Any suggestions?
Is <They Cage Animals At Night> about animals in an orphanage or humans?
If it is about humans I will read it.
The book They Cage the Animals at Night is about a young boy who was left in an orphanage by his mother and then has to navigate through the foster child system with some horrible luck. It is a memoir kinda like A Child Called It. It is a two kleenex box book.
london. that series was really good i hope you are enjoying it. i have finished and have moved on to (sad to say it) bigger and better. i am currently reading THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS trilogy

Yes, Maniac Magee is an orphan who shows up in a town and turns everything upside down. As most Spinelli, it is funny and poignant. It's really a book about race relations. A great upper elemetnary/middle school book.
This book isnt like any of them but i feel the need to recommend it to people as i loved it and even if you dont like the supernatural genre you would probably still love it as it is beautifully written and more about love than ghosts.
It called A Certain Slant of Light

No, it's about witches.
