The Sixpenny Orphan by Glenda Young blog tour and book review.



My review.

The Sixpenny Orphan by Glenda Young.

After the death of their parents, sisters Poppy and Rose are taken in by widow Nellie Harper. But whilst they have a roof over their heads, the young orphans are unloved, unwanted, and always hungry, with only one pair of boots between them. Keen to make money, Nellie hatches a plan to sell the girls to the mysterious Mr Scurrfield. But when the day comes for them to leave, Scurrfield reveals he will take only one of the sisters - and he will decide which it will be on the turn of a sixpence.

I loved this book. I felt like I knew the girls Poppy and Rose. I really didn't like Nellie. I felt like I travelled back in time when I read this book. 5*.
