City of Orphans by Avi

3.0

3.5 stars. Vividly paints a picture of life in New York City in the late 1800s. Lots of adventure and excitement. I didn't love the rough. clipped language the person who is telling the story used. I listened to this book, and the narrator handled this as well as he could have, I imagine. I'm not sure if this would have come off differently on paper.
