Hi my name is Brooke I am a 7th grader and I am writing about your book and I have a few questions that I hope you don't mind answering 1)I am a little confused on the theme I was thinking it was about homes so I just want a clear answer because I also checked google but I did not get a clear answer so I was just wandering?
Christina Baker Kline
Hi Brooke -- there are lots of themes in Orphan Train. It's about the poor and the dispossessed: people who have no power in a culture that values money and status. It's about immigration and assimilation. It's about kindness and connection. It's about overcoming adversity. Etc!

Your new book based on your great-great aunts sounds fascinating! Does the research process feel different when it is a story that is close to your family/heart? Or do all of your topics/project become close to your heart throughout the course the research process?
