The Orphan of Ellis Island is a book with extraordinary events and experiences that are sometimes sad. I really loved reading The Orphan of Ellis Island because this book is filled with unexpected moments and lots of adventures in a lot of different places. This book is also filled with many emotions, happiness, sadness, scariness, and even nervousness; books like this are books for me. The author of The Orphan of Ellis Island, Elvira Woodruff makes you want to never stop reading her books. If I were the author, I wouldn’t change any part of this book because everything is perfect the way it is; there is nothing to change. If I were a character in the book, I would’ve stopped Salvatore from eating cherry pits so that he wouldn’t die. Also, I would change the part when the three Candiano brothers and Dominic are supposed to get on the boat to go to America and instead they would just stay in hiding until later. If there was one word to describe The Orphan of Ellis Island, I would choose thrilling because this book has a lot of exciting moments and adventures throughout the entire book. Read The Orphan of Ellis Island and it will definitely bring adventure into your life.
