Death Valley: California, 1849

(4) 4-6 Survivors series. With their father injured, a broken wagon axle, and limited resources, Will and his sister must travel alone through perilous Death Valley to search for help to save their stranded family. Like other historical Survivors installments, the book is formulaic, but Duey and Bale provide a tense, gritty portrayal of the 1849 westward journeys on which small mistakes could be fatal.
