LaFaye's Worth (0689857306, $15.95) comes from a teacher and author who brings to life a new aspect of the orphan train stories, telling of son Nathaniel, injured in a farm accident, and the boy John Worth who is brought from an orphan train to help his father. Nathaniel is jealous of the boy who now commands his father's respect, and grieves for the lost opportunities his leg injury means. Caught up in a battle between rancher and farmers--and a newfound romance with a Greek immigrant girl--Nathaniel finds new worth in his life and a newfound understanding in Worth. Melissa de la Cruz's The Au Pairs (0689870663, $14.95) tells of two new au pairs for one of New York City's wealthiest families: seemingly ideal situations with underlying problems. A hot bikini cover draws readers to the story of au pairs who face social challenges and romance problems alike.
