Jenny of the Tetons

Jenny of the Tetons is, in my opinion, an awesome book. It's really well put together, and the story line is good. After reading this I read other books by Kristiana Gregory, including The Legend of Jimmy Spoon, which was also a good book. Anyone who likes to read about the time period this book is set in should read Jenny of the Tetons. :)

This is an excellent book. I have now read it 6 times because I like it so much. The main character, Carrie Hill, is saved from an indian attack. She is told her whole family died. She goes to live with a man and his indian wife and children. She is angry about finding loving and caring people who are indians. She finally discovers how wonderful they are though and excepts them, and learns to love them with all her heart. This book is set in the beautiful Tetons. The plot, exposition, and everything in this book is absolutely wonderfully written. I quick but awesome read.

This is Kristiana Gregory's (my all time favorite author) book, and naturally it was good because she wrote it. She has definitely improved a lot, but I found this story irresistably interesting. It's good for kids or adults so whoever you are, go out and get it!

Carrie's family is ambushed by indians. She is put under the care of an englishman named Beaver Dick. To Carrie's horror she finds out Dicks wife is an Indian. Carrie instantly hates her. However thru time Dicks wife {jenny} displays such kindness and gentleness Carrie starts to feel love toward her and her kids. This historical tale is well written and is constantly interesting for kids and adults alike.Word of caution for sensative youngsters, This does not have a happy ending.
