This book sounds soooo good! Those pictures are so haunting. You would think at this point someone recognizes her. Excited to dive into this book this summer and also spend time with my family once we are all out of school. I'll be trekking around the high desert of Washington with our youth church group pulling a handcart getting a glimpse into pioneer life as ma and pa with my husband. Wish us luck! haha I am a middle school librarian at a title 1 school.

My husband's great-great (possibly another great) grandparents came on the Oregon Trail. DM me your school address. I have some giveaways (mostly hardcovers) I could send your library.

My middle schooler can’t wait for the next book. We are looking forward to taking a family cruise once school is out and she wants to read it while at sea :)

Can't wait to read your new book! I am a high school librarian at a Title One school in Arkansas - Caddo Hills High School aka Caddo Academy. I am looking forward to taking 17 of my Sr. Beta Club students to Orlando in June to compete at the National Beta Club Convention. What a road trip!
