Claire's review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I loved this book. I disagree with the people who said that the book droned on and on. In this book an 8 year old girl and her family set out on a 6 month journey to Oregon. On the way they face many hardships, the death and parting with friends and loved ones and several Indian attacks. But there are many exciting moments, and moments of fun, including popping popcorn in the rain. I RECOMMEND this book to everyone.
Leaving Arkansas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book was alittle more interesting because of the fact that they were leaving Arkansas.(this is were I live) As they leave many people turn back, because they are scared. With the four remaining they go on. With conflict the four splint into 2 groups. A story element for this book would be conflict because of the difference of opinion. GOOD BOOK!
I couldn't put it down

This was an excelent book. It would be a good book to read when studying the Oregon Trail. It is full of excitment and adventure. The best part is that it is told from the viewpoint of a nine-year-old which students can relate to. This book is based off of a true story and the author did a wonderful job in her research making it as realastic and accurate as possible. It is great for all ages!
An excellent real life account of a trip on the Oregon Trail

My third graders couldn't get enough of this book! They loved it--all 21 of them. This book gives great descriptions of a nine-yera old who travels on the Oregon Trail. The vocabulary and visual images are awesome!
