Dear America - Hattie Campbell

This book was kinda boring . I had a hard time paying attention , when reading this book but , overall its a nice book.

A Book That Couldn't Be Put Down

Wow! This book is truley amazing! Kristiana Gregory did quite a wonderfull job on this book. I remember at night I would open up my book and I'd read about 30 pages or so. For most eleven year old it's a hard task to read that many pages because most kids are to busy playing Play Station or something but to me it was quit a pleasure because this book just really captured me. Sometimes I'd just get so caught up in this story and it felt like I was traveling on the trail with Hattie. I just can't tell how much I love the book. I would recamend this book to anyone who loves a little adventure and who loves the Oregon Trail. This book truely couldn't be put down! Awesome book Mrs.Gregory. Thankyou for writing such a wonderfull book. Thanks. Skylar Hoffman.

A Moving Reminder of Pioneer Courage

My ten year old granddaughter complained that she hadn't enough history in her education. I went browsing for some material and chanced upon this book. What a great find. This story is written simply enough for a child but it is not childish. I enjoyed the read, too. I had not thought for a long time about the day to day adventures and hard ships that people moving across America by wagon experienced. I was moved by the courage and determination of the young girl in this story and am certain that she is a great role model for my little one. The geography and history that are natural parts of the story as well as the realities of life at that time make for a wonderful combination of educational material that is totally absorbing.

truly a great and educational novel

this book really let me see what was happening on the oregon trail and really taught me about what life was like traveling across the U.S.
the book explains in detail about westward migration life during the mid 1800's like what supllies were needed for survival and the dangers. I really enjoyed experiencing this book and it now sits on my bookshelf as one of my favorite historical fiction novels. This book is an easy read and recommend it to all ages!!

Excellent Book

Across the Wide and Lonesome Prarie was my second Dear America book(I have them all) and although I was 7 years old when I first read it, I got very interested with the American West because of this book. I loved how every day something exciting, good and bad, happened. This book is still one of my favorites!I recomend it!
