Maggie was a foundling, left on Madame's doorstep as a baby. Now, at age 11, conscripted as Madame's housemaid, Maggie lives with the constant threat of being put out on the streets if she does not do exactly what Madame says. But Maggie has a hard time following the rules, especially the one about staying silent, and when she speaks out at Madame's reception for the Duchess, Madame is angry and finally does what she has threatened -- she puts Maggie out on the streets of Boston, with nothing.Oliver was a happy home dog. He had a warm bed, regular meals, and even squirrels to chase. His owner, Bertie, petted him and brushed him, until one day Bertie died, and they took her away in a wagon. Where did they take her? Oliver wondered. He set off down the cobblestone street to find Bertie and tell her to come home. But life on the street is hard for a homeless dog, and Oliver is hungry and worried.This is the story of a homeless girl and a homeless dog in the early 1900s in Boston, and how they made their way together until they found a new home. A charming Oliver Twist story for ages 7-11. Younger kids would enjoy listening to the story.

Daughter loves this book.

Such a sweet book. Great friendship between the Maggie and Oliver. Highly recommend!

Maggie is a young orphan. She works as a maid but over steps her boundaries and ends up thrown on the street. Oliver is a dog that finds him self homeless after his owner dies. They find each other on the streets of Boston and team up for many adventures. The book was very good, It reminded me a lot of the classic Broadway play and movie Annie.

My 4 year old loved this book. It is well written and perfect for preschool to early elementary age children.

Super book for kids!
