Nobody's boy (Sans famille) by Hector Malot

When eight-year-old Rémi is sold to a traveling street performer, he leaves the only home he's known to journey across France with a troupe of performing animals. Along the way, he encounters wealthy strangers who hint at mysteries in his past, faces harsh winters and cruel masters, and discovers both the brutality and kindness of the world.
