Reviews

This is a wonderful book that shows a child's role in the pioneer life of the mid-1800s in a way that is fun and informative for today's children. Weaving together heart-warming scenes with some suspense, Lickel keeps children turning pages to find out what happens to Huldah when she's lost in the woods-one of the very real dangers in her world. Meeting up with Green Leaf again is an added bonus for those who meet him in Lickel's book, Green Leaf the Potawatomi Boy, part of this First Children of Farmington series. As a homeschooling mom, I highly recommend this book. What better way to learn history than through well researched, entertaining historical fiction? -Patterly Wys
