I am reviewing a copy of Thursday’s Child through Harper360, HarperCollins Children’s Books and Netgalley:

Margaret Thursday was given her name after the day someone found her on the Church steps as baby. But she’s not really an Orphan every year someone leaves a bag of coins on the Church steps for her keep. But when she’s eleven the money stops leaving her guardians with no choice but to send her away to an orphanage.

Sadly the orphanage is worse than they could have imagined. The children are treated poorly and not fed enough, and soon Margaret who is fearless makes herself the enemy of the evil matron who runs it. Margaret is determined to protect her new friends, Peter and Horatio, Margaret plans their daring escape but she’s going to have to outsmart the evil Matron at every turn.

I give Thursday’s Child five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
