I read books 1 and 2. One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. No one knew them. They were trying to find a home. Will they ever find their home??

I believe this series of books will have you reading for hours and hours because you will fall in love with the story set like i did!!!!!!!!

Realistic fiction, with kids you can relate to and a mystery as well.

these book are very good. there are tons of them and they are about mysteries that these orphan kids solved, but soon thier lifes change happily :)
