After the death of their parents, the five young Meyter children found a home with their loving Grandparents. It was a tight, but happy home, until their Grandfather passed away and their Grandmother grew too old to care for ten little feet and five extra, hungry hearts. Life being what it is, their Grandmother went to a home for the elderly and the five Meyter children went to an Orphanage, The Harmony Home for Children.
Under the ever watchful eye of Alice Brown and her less than pleasant daughter, Carissa, the five lived and grew inside the cold walls of the Harmony Home, waiting for a day when they could be adopted – together. Unfortunately for them money talks louder than promises and for Alice Brown, money was the only language she knew.
When the truth comes out, the five flee, with no money, no shelter, no destination… and no choice.

This is a short story appropriate for middle school children and up.
The Meyters are siblings in an orphanage run by the horrid Mrs Brown. Orphanage might be too kind a word seeing as the children are actually sold off to the highest bidder. When the children are about to be "adopted", but separately, they decide to run away and find a parent that will love and take care of them. So begins their adventure.
I downloaded this book for free after I read some rave reviews about it but didn't realise it was aimed at such a young audience. It is extremely short and can be read very quickly. The plot is very sweet and suitable for about a 10 year old - don't expect anything new to crop up as this kind of story has been done many times before. The characters are not fleshed out very much as there is no time to do this, but I found Marc's character very irritating and precocious as he doesn't listen or do as he is told. A very light read with a moral to the tale.
