Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin


Captain Thomas Coram founded the Coram Hospital for the Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Children in 1741. But what if there had been a "Coram Man", who claimed to take unwanted children to this hospital, but didn't? This book takes that idea, and sets the scene where two boys at the hospital become friends, find out about their origins, and try to save other children from being sold into slavery. An enjoyable children's novel.
