In 1880, five babies were abandoned at Amsterdam’s Little Tulip Orphanage without adhering to the institution’s orderly rules. Named by the cruel Matron Gassbeek, their monikers are as unique as they are: 12-fingered Lotta, a master of mathematics; gentle Egg, a budding cartographer; timid Fenna, a mute culinary expert; and protective Sem, a sewing whiz. The fifth, Milou, whose ear-prickling sense warns her of impending danger, has written a book of theories about why her parents abandoned her in a small coffin. Twelve years later, these inseparable children, all considered unadoptable, are suddenly courted by a merchant who wants them to join him aboard his ship. Instead, the five escape to an abandoned windmill once owned by Milou’s family; however, even their lifelike puppet guardian and Milou’s sixth sense may not protect them from the dangers of the outside world. Despite employing a well-trod conceit—orphans frantic to escape a miserable life creating a found family—this story stands out for its enchanted setting, daring escapades, and an arch, vividly wrought third-person narrative by debut author Tooke. Ages 8–12.
