This review is from: Jeannie: A Texas Frontier Girl (Book One) (Paperback)

I am in the third grade in Pennsylvania. I have just read the Jeannie, A Texas Frontier Girl, Book One. I thought it was a great book. I am going to read Book Two right away. I like the adventures that Jeannie has with her friends. I want to be a writer someday, just like Evelyn Horan.

Love,
Cassidy

This review is from: Jeannie: A Texas Frontier Girl (Book One) (Paperback)

I predict that Ms. Horan will be our present-day Laura Ingles Wilder. Our children desperately need to be subjected to more literature of this type and I am so glad to see that an author had the foresight to present work such as this at this time. I applaud her and hope to see much more by her! Excellent book! I highly recommend this one for children and adults alike.

What was West Texas like in the 1880's? If you want to learn and have a fun adventure in reading, then get a copy of Jeannie, A Texas Frontier Girl. This book will take you on a wonderful journey back to the 1800's with Jeannie and her friends. If you like the Little House books then you will enjoy Jeannie just as much. I highly recommend this book for all schools, libraries, and anyone interested in historical novels.
