To everyone, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how wonderful this book is. I first read it in Junior High School, I fell in love with it. I mustve read it 3 or 4 times since. Its a wonderful story, like all Steele books it leaves the reader spellbound at the end. The description says ages 9-12 but you can be MUCH MUCH older to enjoy this book. It is really a book for anyone with a sense of adventure and an imagination. :)

My son (11) and I have realy enjoyed O'Steel's book. My husband read alot of these books as a child and I can see why! Fast paced, action, adventure, wonderfully descrpitive....made me wish I was a kid again!

Thank you for your prompt shipment of this item. My grandson completed this book in one day, walking around the house with his nose in the book. I was in hopes that it would arrive during the week that he was staying with us. William O. Steele is his new favorite author, having discovered him first in "Daniel Boone". Massbookstore mailed it immediately.

This is an excellent adventure story. I read it to my 10yo son over just a few nights and we were both hooked. It is a quick read about two families on a flatboat moving to a new home. The first chapter was a bit slow, but then things picked up and we really enjoyed it. I'm ordering other William O. Steele books right now!

I read stories for my children in the evenings and books by William Steele really hold their attention. My children range in age from 5 to 14, boys & girls. His stories are early American tales from a pre-teen/teen perspective. They're full of adventure and emotion. I'd recommend books written by this author to any parent.

I also read this school, but grade school, and then read every other Wm. O. Steele book I could get my hands on. It was a great intro to the genre of historical fiction and good for girls and boys.
