Got boring very quickly and didn't improve. I did not find this as uplifting as it claims to be. A lot of bed-hopping between characters and didn't really lead anywhere.

I thought "Orphan Boy" was a fascinating read and a really excellent book! I loved the characters that the author, Elizabeth Gill, has created and it was a great storyline. I thought the ending to be most fulfilling. I highly recommend this book. Well worth five stars.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel, at my own request, from Quercus Books via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

A lovely book to read with a fab story and great charactors you will definatly need tissues as you read this heartbreaking story.well worth the 5*

A lovely and heartbreaking story of survival. You will need tissues to get through this book. Sad and touching and a really lovely read

What a good book.
It was difficult to put this book down. I just wanted to carry on reading it.
I loved the style of the authors writing.
Well worth a read

I was lucky to receive this book from netgalley and didn't know it was part of a series. It made no difference to the read and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about No all, Bridget and Caitlin.
Will look to read more of Elisabeth Gill books now .

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this arc.
