Between the time that I was in second grade and probably sixth grade, I read this book countless times. The reading level is about fourth grade I guess, but I loved it so much that reading level didn't matter! This story will teach girls about storing up treasure in heaven and trusting God, meanwhile providing a captivating setting that every little girl loves--out on the prairie, with wagon trains and Indians. The main character is beloved and familiar as well--a girl with auburn pigtails, a lot of spunk, and a strong faith in God. Definitely a notable addition to any young girl's library--don't miss it.

What a neat little book! I enjoyed reading this novel and so did my nine year-old son! It was an awesome story about showing the love of Christ even in the most difficult of circumstances. Good books like this, Sarah Maxwell's series about the Moodys, and my book The Orphans of Mordecai's Castle: The Haven are safe and appropriate to place in the hands of our children.

Captive Treasure is set in the days of the Oregon Trail. When Carrie is captured by indians, she wonders why they are so interested in her bible. When she finally realizes what they want, she is amazed and confused at her love for god.
