Excellent for the Classroom
The Long Way to a New Land and The Long Way Westward are companion books that chronicle a family's journey from their Swedish farm, which is suffering from an extended drought, to a new home in Minnesota. The books describe the difficulty and dangers of the journey in a way that is non-complaining and full of optimism for a new life in America. Teachers, these books...

Not as good as Long Way to a New Land
This is the follow-up book to "Long Way to a New Land" about an immigrant family coming to America in the 1800's. In this book, the family has arrived in New York and has to make their way to Minnesota without much English. It should have been a good book, and we're interested in the family, but the story was very chopped up. We probably won't read it again.

Excellent for the Classroom,
This review is from: The Long Way Westward (I Can Read Book 3) (Paperback)
The Long Way to a New Land and The Long Way Westward are companion books that chronicle a family's journey from their Swedish farm, which is suffering from an extended drought, to a new home in Minnesota. The books describe the difficulty and dangers of the journey in a way that is non-complaining and full of optimism for a new life in America. Teachers, these books are wonderful for integrating with other subjects and topics, such as immigration, westward expansion, steamships, trains, geography, and American life in the 1860s.

Perfect for Unit Study of Pioneer Days,

This review is from: The Long Way Westward (I Can Read Book 3) (Paperback)
This sequel to The Long Way to a New Land was the perfect choice for our family's unit study about the Westward Expansion. My first grader was able to read aloud easily, and my four year old was able to comprehend the story well when read to. The characters (Carl Erik, Jonas, and their family) are easy for children to connect to. With so many books written about this period featuring girls as the main characters, it was refreshing to offer my son interesting male characters.
