About this book

Snow and sleet surround Mrs. Lloyd's house while Matilda prepares presents for a Christmas party inside its warm, brightly lit rooms. Newly arrived in New York and adopted by Mrs. Laval, she delights in her fine dress and the gathering of children. Yet the thought of Sarah Staples, working at a street crossing and living in a cold cellar, makes that comfort troubling. Susan Warner uses this contrast to bring questions of generosity and responsibility into a child's everyday pleasures.

The fourth novel in a series, Trading continues the story of The House in Town. Its family scenes combine social observation with direct Christian teaching. In a later passage, Matilda and David compare biblical passages about the Messiah, moving between questions, careful reading and puzzled responses.
