The Unadoptables by Hana Tooke

Meet the UNADOPTABLES

At the Little Tulip Orphanage, not once have the Rules for Baby Abandonment been broken. That is, until the autumn of 1880, when five babies are left in outrageous circumstances: one in a toolbox, one in a coal bucket, one in a picnic hamper, one in a wheat sack, and finally, one in a coffin-shaped basket.

Those babies were Lotta, Egg, Fenna, Sem and Milou. And although their cruel matron might think they're 'unadoptable', they know their individuality is what makes them special - and so determined to stay together.

When a most sinister gentleman appears and threatens to tear them apart, the gang make a daring escape across the canals of Amsterdam. But is their real home - and their real family - already closer than they realise?
