(5) K-3 A young girl recounts her family's overland move to California in 1850. The perilous trek involves her near drowning, getting lost on the trail, and being rescued both times by the gruff wagon-train captain. Improbable events, including the melodramatic lost-and-found adventure, bear little resemblance to actual accounts found in letters and journals of pioneers. Earth-toned illustrations highlight the bleakness of the prairie.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
