4.0 out of 5 stars An nonstop thrill that takes you back to the old western day, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Walking Up a Rainbow (Avon Flare Book) (Paperback)

I think that Walking Up a Rainbow is a very good book.It was an excellent story of a young girl as she faces the dangers and wonders of the western trail.It has a lot of excitment in it and the charaters are fantastic!You have not afraid of anything,won't be stopped by anyone,this is my home I'm going to defend it Susan and the outgoing yet careful,out for new ideas Mrs.Dessery.While all of the action is happening you also have a love story in the makings.The brillant Clay who saves the day more than once.I just think that it is a great book and I strongly suggest you take time and read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reader from Northwest USA, July 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Walking Up a Rainbow (Avon Flare Book) (Paperback)

"Walking Up A Rainbow" is one of my favorite books--I read it a day within checking it out of the library. I bought it a month later, and it sits by my bed with all my other favorite books. I know it is meant for 13-15 year old readers, but I'm 17 and loved it, and my mother also loved it. Susan is a great heroine and the ending is wonderful...I encourage everyone to buy this book if they see it. After reading it I'm sure you'll want to go on a cross-country adventure, too! Great historical facts, also.

Not long after breakfast that mellow autumn dawn there was a banging on the front door and I dried my hands, shushing big Rufus's deep-throated barking, then went on down the dark hallway from the kitchen, wondering who might be visiting at such an hour. Read the first page
