If you liked 'A Little Princess's or other orphan & villain gothic YA books, you're gonna love this one. Well executed gothic tale of an orphan who gets pulled into a con artist scheme. Really enjoyed it. ( )

Maud Flynn is an orphan in an early 20th century asylum who is abruptly adopted by three spinster sisters, who have some odd rules for their new ward. She is to help them in their work, and to do that, she must be a secret child. Nobody can know that she is in their home. The only other inhabitant of the house is a partially crippled deaf/mute woman who cooks and cleans.
The family business turns out to be the business of bilking gullible mourning people out of their money by putting on seances and pretending to contact their deceased loved ones.
Maud learns a great deal through the course of the book. Learning that some people who might seem wonderful, are in fact horrors, and others, who might not seem much at all, are the best people in the world.
The setting for the tale, America just at the dawn of the industrial age, is beautifully rendered. ( )

I don't like ghost stories and I don't like stories where clever people get away with stealing and lying. This book was neither. And it was wonderful. ( )

The words from the description, lively, engaging, intriguing, are apt.  This is a lot of fun.  Terrific orphan story too.  Doesn't talk down to its juvenile audience, either.  Should be more widely known & loved.  Is it a little too long?  Are good and bad, black and white, too confusing?  I dunno.  But if you like old-fashioned stories about girls, whether historical or not, orphan or not, paranormal or not, give this a try.

This book is about an 11 year old orhpan at the Barbary Asylum named Maud. One day two old ladies were goind to adopt a 5 or 6 year old because there would be small.When the laidies came Maud was in the out house singing and when one of the laidies heared Maud, she knew that she had to adopt Maud. So she did. Maud was also small for her age so she wouldbe perfect for her seacret jobbut as soon (wich wasn't very soon) as Maud found out she wasn't very happy so she did some things and some thing things happend to her. I liked this book because it showed me that evn if you are small that you can do big things. I also liked this book because it was a tragic story, but whith a happy ending. ( )
