Cuál es la necesidad de escribir huérfanos tan insoportables, me hace sentir mala persona que me caigan mal
I have nothing but positive things to say. This book is unusual in the most beautiful way. The characters are imperfect which makes them all the more loveable. I read all but 3 chapters in a single sitting. Definitely gives me some Lemony Snicket vibes with a little Miss Peregrine mixed in. This is my new go to recommendation for children.

The Unadoptables is set in the early 20th century in Amsterdam, five babies were left on the doorstep of an orphanage where they grew up, least to be chosen to be adopted until they reach the age of 12. Milou believed that her parents would be coming back for her. Until one night, she and four of her friends, Lotta, Egg, Fena, and Sem escaped from the orphanage when they were being sold to slavery. It was a story of hope, and adventure. For some reason, the mood and atmosphere of the story reminded me of the movie, Hugo.

I found the Unadoptables to be a fun and charming middle grade read. Would highly recommend this book for an easy, fun read about the most self sufficient children I have ever read about. I loved the twist in the end and adored each character’s distinct personalities.
