I made it a little over halfway in this before I had to stop. The mystery was intriguing and the setting was interesting, but I really didn't like the way Clara's parents were portrayed. Or the way Edgar was so adamant that his dead uncle was watching over him. But what killed it for me was the profanity in the reported speech of the villains. I don't like profanity in any of my books, but it's totally unnecessary in a children's book.

I enjoyed this book, and thought it was a good mystery for kids. The book takes place during the earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco. I appreciated the historical details, both in the book, as well as information at the end of the book. I would have given it four stars, but the book hinted about dead people being "present." There was also one use of the word "damnation," which I felt was unnecessary and inappropriate in what should be a wholesome kids' book.

I really, really enjoyed this book. A good, reasonably intricate plot, capturing well the chaos of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. There was good character development, and the various details were tied together well. Definitely more complex than most AG mysteries - targeted for slightly older readers, but that is what made it so good to me. A couple PG notes - there was some reference to the spirits of the deceased potentially being around, and one use of the word "damnation."

Excellent historical fiction.
This book centers around a family during the earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco, that finds a baby and becomes involved in the search for the child’s identity.
During the chaos we see how they have been dealing with the loss of a family member. It’s a heavy book but approaches the topics of loss, guilt, faith, and bravery well
Illustrated, and has a good History of San Francisco earthquake 1906 as an afterword.
⚠️ Parental Warning ⚠️
Twice it says that a man “cursed” but doesn’t have any words.
Talks of abuse of woman from two men, and asked if it was her boyfriend.
The damage from the earthquake is described as a “scene from hell”.
Mentioned that soldiers shot looters.

This is probably one of my favorite History Mysteries! I loved the characters and the exciting plot. I'm reading this book for the first time as an adult (well, young adult...), and it definitely kept me on my toes!

This is the 18th book in the history mysteries series and takes place in 1906 in San Francisco, during and just after the terrible earthquake the city had at the time. The earthquake itself was bad but what was worse were the fires that raged through the city. At the time more buildings were built of wood and the fire-fighting capability of the city was zero since the water mains were broken during the earthquake.
Anyhow, Clara is the main figure of the story, a young girl whose parents run a boarding house. Their house is damaged but they are not hurt and they, their boarders and other survivors end up setting up on the ground outside the house. A baby is left at their doorstep and the mystery goes from there as it becomes obvious that the baby was a girl disguised as a boy, some people are out to get the baby back, and some very, very nasty men are also out to get their hands on the baby.
It's a good story both as far as the mystery of the baby goes and as far as how the conditions were in the city immediately following the earthquake. As always, there's a historical section with material relating to the main event of the time which, in this case, was the earthquake.

Read this with my daughter as we were studying earthquakes for school. I thought this book really took you back to the time of the San Francisco earthquake. It had a unique way of putting you right in the middle of the action. It seemed very historically correct. I love the "Peek into the Past" section at the back of this book. It shows the reader just what was based on fact.
Towards the end of the book, it was hard to put down. I just had to know what happened next. Loved the story line. I think it would be a great book for older elementary school and junior high age students.

Very good. A bit sad but a decent mystery for a childrens book
February 10, 2025
As with the American Girl History Mysteries in general, this is quite dark for a children's book. I don't think it's appropriate for children under 12. The San Francisco earthquake and the destruction and death that it caused are described at length. The kidnapping of a baby is a main plot point, as well as the attempted murder of the baby and the protagonist by gangsters. Severe bodily harm to adults by the gangsters is mentioned.
The death of the protagonist's older brother from being drowned at sea is a major part of the story. She often hears him speaking to her and imagines his presence with her. This was the best part of the book for me; it had me crying. The mother is also haunted by her son's death, and is afraid (completely reasonably, though it's not really presented as being reasonable) of letting her daughter go out during the earthquake (and when there are violent gangsters looking for them) when she would be in danger.
There's also an orphaned boy who comes to live with them (parents killed during the influenza pandemic, uncle killed during the earthquake) who similarly imagines he can feel his uncle with them and watching over them.
The gangsters are twin brothers who, though not of the correct era or location, I would guess are modeled after the Kray twins. One of them drowns at sea and the other is imprisoned.
One thing I didn't like is that the father's lack of assertiveness with his wife since the shipwreck that paralyzed him and killed their son, is seen by the protagonist as a bad, almost unnatural thing. She wants him to be the patriarch of the family, and wants him to give orders and for her mother to obey them. While I imagine this is historically accurate, this is also a children's book. I don't think young girls need to be exposed to that kind of chauvinist thinking, no matter how traditional it is, especially when it's presented in a positive light as here.
Another thing I didn't care for is that the family partly getting over the brother's death and trying to find replacements for him is presented positively. The mother lets guests sit in her son's chair at table, which she usually keeps empty out of respect for his memory, and her "getting over" this ritual is seen as a good thing. The mother was very eager to adopt the baby, and the protagonist outright says her mother wants the baby as a replacement for her dead son. And the protagonist imagines her friend (and probable new adopted family member) call her the nickname that her brother called her, implying that he will be a replacement brother for her.
However, the loving sister-brother relationship and heartfelt treatment of grief makes me willing to overlook these comparatively minor dislikes, and overall I liked it very much.

This book tells the story of Clara, a young girl living in San Francisco in the early 1900s. Her family has been hit with many hardships – including the loss of her brother and her father being rendered wheelchair-bound due to an accident – and is about to experience one more. The city is hit with a devastating earthquake that decimates the city and leads to widespread fires. Clara’s family is left without basic amenities such as running water and must find a way to rebuild amidst continuing disaster. During their struggle, a baby is dropped on their porch with a note saying that she is an orphan. Clara must now find a way to return the baby to her rightful owner with only two clues – the note and a rattle bearing the letter H – to guide her while maneuvering the aftermath of this historical disaster.
This book is part of the American Girl franchise and gives the reader a glimpse into a historical time frame through a familiar narrative structure. The reader is able to glean important historical knowledge while navigating the mystery alongside Clara. Clara is a relatable character for modern children aged eight to twelve, making it easy for the reader to immerse himself or herself in the story. The book has many scenes of terror that may be unsettling for younger readers but also touches on mature themes such as grief and fear in a way that children can comprehend. The book is too long to be read in one class session, but the chapters are easily separable for a series of sessions. Each chapter ends on a cliffhanger that invites the reader to theorize what will happen next. One way that this book could be used in the classroom is to engage students in critical thinking and prediction skills. After each cliffhanger, students could be asked to predict what Clara will do next or to suggest what she should do to remedy the situation. The historical setting of the book also invites comparison between the events of the book and modern day events as well as connections to primary documents from that time period.

This book was exceptional in a lot of ways, but it had a little too much angst for me.
I enjoyed learning about the San Francisco earthquake (I knew a little bit about it from Nancy Drew, so it was nice to examine it more thoroughly) and I also like the Edwardian period, so it had that going for it. The author handled the drama and tension of the disaster pretty well. And the mystery, too, was really interesting, which unfortunately is not always the case in this series. It was much more intense than the other lost baby books from AG (A Bundle of Trouble, Marie-Grace and the Orphans.) I don't know that the author had the skill to pull off the action sequence at the end, but the beginning of the book was at least mysterious and intriguing.
The aspects that grated had to do with the family dynamics. Clara, the main character, has recently lost her brother in a ship accident, which has caused her mother to become overprotective and demanding of her. The accident also left her father in a wheelchair, and he seems to have lost the will to run his household and negotiate with his wife about anything. The book goes on about these issues all. the. time. I can appreciate character development, but I prefer not to be hit over the head with it.
The parents also irritated me in that they find a lost baby and immediately decide to raise it rather than try to reunite it with its parents. Tbf, the baby does initially come with a note stating she's an orphan, but once there was evidence the baby had been disguised and the nanny of the child literally showed up on their doorstep, they should've taken the matter more seriously. Instead they use their class privilege to frighten the nanny away and refuse to do any more investigating for the time being. Having finished the book, I now realize this scene was necessary for plot convenience, but the entire family's attitude towards the baby seemed unrealistic throughout. I get that they are in the middle of a natural disaster, but the police should've been notified asap.
Overall though you can tell the author tried, and the story is a lot more cohesive than some of the other books this series has to offer.

Since the story takes place during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the plot is compact and very rooted in its time period, which I appreciated. Clara works in her parent’s boardinghouse which supports their family after a shipwreck that kills her older brother and disables her father. One thing I liked about this book is how it tackles grief. Clara is not only grieving the loss of her brother but also of her freedom which has been diminished since her mother opened the boardinghouse. Despite this, Clara’s character does not seem whiny or ungrateful. Rather she is aware of why her life has changed but allows herself to grieve anyway.
Clara’s mother just about drove me up a wall! The loss of her son makes her overly protective of Clara (understandable) to the point of smothering. And her bottled up grief and resentment, comes out as being overly critical of her daughter and neglectful of her emotional needs. The worst part to me is that when baby H is discovered, Clara’s mother is overjoyed to have a child to replace her dead son, leading Clara’s father to say she just needed another child to bring her back to life AS IF SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANOTHER CHILD (Clara) who needs her mom, too. The implication that she needed another child to ‘mother’ when’s she’s not mothering the child she already has was so frustrating for me!! Everything is made right by the end of course, but I wish the book had tackled this issue a little deeper.
Still not enough to keep me from giving it 5 stars!

I loved Riddle of the Prairie Bride, Kathryn Reiss' other mystery from this series. This book couldn't quite compare, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
In 1906 San Francisco, Clara Curfman spends most of her time doing chores around her family's boarding house. An accident years ago left her brother dead and her father in a wheelchair. Between their grief and financial struggles, things are tense in the Curfman family. As if they don't have enough to worry about, an earthquake strikes the city, and then a strange baby is left on their doorstep. In her determination to uncover the baby's identity, Clara unravels an elaborate kidnapping plot and unintentionally places herself in the path of danger.
The buildup is a bit slow, following an exciting first few chapters detailing the earthquake and its immediate aftermath. I found it a bit odd that Clara's parents, especially her mother, didn't really listen to her concerns about there being more to the story. Yes, the piece of paper left with the baby claimed she was an orphan, but Clara's mother and father didn't even seem to try to confirm this. Sometimes deaths were mistakenly reported in this era; I could easily see this happening during a disaster like the 1906 earthquake. They didn't question why the baby girl was disguised like a boy, and completely dismissed nursemaid Hattie when she showed up seeming to know who the baby was and claiming she was in danger. I would've expected them to look into the case a little further (and not leave Clara to do practically all of the investigating herself).
Even so, the final few chapters are satisfying, and the ending put a smile on my face.

The book was okay. I was surprised to read that the mystery was revealed halfway through when in other books in this series was at the end. Also, there are a lot of trigger warnings for this book, which I will list below shortly. If you are a parent and your young child wants to read this, please read it with them so you can explain to them in your own words about the different situations that are shown during the story. I recommend this book for upper elementary to middle school.
Warnings and Trigger warnings:
- Descriptions of the aftermath after an earthquake
- Loss of a child (Clara lost her older brother after a boat accident)
- Profanity (Mention of "HeII" and "Damnation")
- Dead people being "present" (one of the characters meant it like as a guardina angel. At least, that's how I interpreted).
- Abuse to women
- Soldiers and policemen shooting
- Implications of a baby's death
- Death (some of them are described)

This was a really cute book, probably more for younger teens, but still quite enjoyable as an adult who loves old fashioned literature and simple tales with morals. It is something I would purchase for my children. Interesting- not a boring plot - and unexpected twists and turns you would like in a book to keep you reading.

I found it to be a facinating story about the abduction of Baby H and the heroic rescue of a young girl.

I liked the premise and the first half was amazinggg but the big reveal and wrap-up fell flat for me (why I only gave this 3.75 stars)

I liked the history more than the mystery. I felt the mystery part was quite weak. But a good story. Not bad, just not particularly mysterious. Lots of details included in the story.

I liked it, but I kinda wish that it wasn’t so creepy.

Vivid retelling of the San Francisco earthquake. I love how the family winds up pulling together to help themselves and their neighbors from the rubble. How they look after the mysterious baby that just shows up on their doorstep. Brave girl to go to such lengths to save a child...and almost bittersweet ending. Loved how the death of the brother was worked throughout the story, the growing friendships...I'm not even making sense I loved this book so much! Very exciting and one I'm very happy to share with my kids.

I haven't read any of the American Girl books since I was a pre-teen... but I found this book in a used bookstore/cafe. I thought it looked like a fun quick read. I was ultimately interested since I lived in San Francisco for a time& my brother still lives there. It was interesting to read a story from this time-period & perspective. I enjoyed this story& will be sure to pass it on to my daughter when she's of age.

I loved the American Girl History Mysteries when I was younger!! I read most of them and this one was my favorite. It's about the San Francisco earthquake hitting and a girl finding a baby on her doorstep needing to find out who the baby's parents were. It told a lot about the earthquake and was really interesting. I recommend it to all pre-teen girls.
September 3, 2014
I really enjoyed this book! Another good book in the series! I enjoyed the time period and location, and the names in the book were also very well-chosen. I finished this book in one or two days and remember really enjoying it! A very good read about the earthquakes of San Francisco from the viewpoint of a young girl named Clara.

I listened to the audio book version of this because I'm always looking for audio books to listen to since my library doesn't have a ton. It was ok but got a bit boring and seemed too child-like for my liking.

September 6, 2013This book is good. It seems very interesting. I am glad i am reading this. I like these type of books, they keep me very entertained. I look foward to finishing this book and liking it even more than i do now! It already keeps me on the edge already and im just at the beginning of it!!!

I liked this book when I read it, but I have a feeling it might be one of the books I read which I forgot some of the important parts because I didn't like them.

It was pretty interesting
strange though how the baby's hair was shaved and dressed like a boy even though she was a girl

This was one of my favorites in the series. When a baby turnes up on the doorstep of a farmhouse, it's only identification is Baby H.
