Summaries

When five kids growing up in an orphanage refuse to be separated by adoption, the only way to stay together is to go on the lam across the country as The Beniker Gang.

Five orphans in an orphanage don't want the authorities to break up the family they made of each other: Arthur, the eldest, who writes the advice column Dear Lola; Ben who eats paper; introvert James ; Cassie, the only girl; and Edmond. They run away from the orphanage to stay a family, but it won't be so easy.—Jonathan <[email protected]>
