I read this in elementary school (I'm over 30 now) and it was a sweet story about Jane - a girl of about 11 or 12 who lives in an orphanage. During the summer, she is invited to spend time with a farm family and an older woman who lives alone. Both end up wanting to adopt Jane and she struggles with which offer to accept. Her observations of each situation are very mature for her age. This is a really enjoyable book and I wish I still had my copy!

Adopted Jane is a great book. i first read it when i was in the fourth grade, and it is still a favorite eight years later. any little girl will love this book - it is easy to read, with lots of old-fashioned charm and a great story. i give it my highest recommendation.
