Hi! I'm looking for a fictional book I read when I was a kid (sometime around 2007-2011). It was about a girl whose parents died and she got put into an orphanage. Her only comfort was some sort of stuffed monkey. She didn't get along with the other children and was an outcast. Some thought she was a witch or had evil powers and she leaned into this for a while and played tricks on the other children. It had a grey or sepia cover I think and the title might have either been the girl's name or/and started with A- very foggy recollection so might not be right.

Do you remember how her parents died was it in the second world war ? There are several stories about children with stuffed toy monkeys whose lives were affected by the war.

In the meantime, we have a Listopia list to try:Orphanages

Anything sound or look familiar? Don't forget that there are usually multiple covers and editions, so follow up on suspicious titles. ;)
