This book was very predictable in the beginning you alawys could tell that it was going to work out well in the end and that the two would go through a great jorney. Towards the middle of the book it got less predictable and more adverturous. Exciting things statred to happen and the two children faced a couple of setbacks. At the end of the book it returned to being predictable again and it is obvious to the reader that the children will be safe at the end.

I read this book last year with my third-grade daughter. The subject matter was a little tough for her. Her world was still pretty shiny and bright then, and didn't include peoples killing one another.

I enjoyed the book and find still myself thinking about it every now and then. Its theme, the saving of something that actively resists being saved, was quite interesting.

This book is excellent to use in a unit on Western Expansion. Fourth grade Title 1 students were able to read and understand this book. It especially correlates well with the computer game "Oregon Trail."

Save Queen of Sheba is a somewhat exciting book. It has an odd plot but decent. King David is stranded after Indians ambush his party train. King David is stuck with his very STUBBORN, ANNOYING 5 year old little sister trying to survive and get to Fort Laramie where his parents might be. King David gets lucky with finding a horse and gun. Now this book has no exciting twists and is not very interesting. It is worth reading but only if you have to. I have read much better books than this one. The climax only lasted about two pages and ends the way you think it will. They must survive harsh weather conditions, and they must find food and water.(...)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be bored out of your mind. Well read this book and find out. At the starting it sounds pretty exciting towards the middle you suffer SBD (severe boredom disease). At the ending the author find a cheap way to end the book before the editor's deadline.

Great book for readers young and old. Not much else like it on the market for young readers today.

I absolutely loved this book as a child. My teacher read it to the class in elementary school & I have thought about it ever since. I finally remembered enough of the title to locate the book for my own daughter.

I read this book for the first time over 20 years ago when I was in fourth grade. I loved the story and it is still one that I recommend to kids. My husband teaches English and I suggested this book for his recommended reading list.

Save Queen of Sheba is a great book for 5th grade. Wonderful story of children who survive alone after an Indian attack while their family are traveling by wagon train. A must read!

I think this would be a good book for 4th graders studying Westward Expansion
because it tells the risks of going on the trail.

My favorite part was when they find the horse. Now they can travel a lot faster
by riding the horse.
