YA where a boy (orphan?) becomes a servant at someone’s house.

[Alex]

There is another servant boy there when he arrives and it’s about him learning the ropes and their lives there. Read in ~2004.

Alex, I moved your request to the "Unsolved" folder because you're looking for one specific book.

[Kris]

What's the genre (which we need to add to the header/ topic title) - e.g., YA historical fiction, realistic fiction, coming of age, fantasy?

What is the story's time period and location?

[Alex]

YA, cannot remember the time period or location. I want to say 1900s.
