5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, June 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Go West, Young Women! (Petticoat Party) (Paperback)

This first book in the Petticoat Party series was great. It is about a wagon train of strong, independent women. All the men are dead or injured so the women try to get to Oregon on their own. This book was funny, too.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: La Tarde de Los Elfos (School & Library Binding)

Go West Young Women is about a family that goes on a trip through the West and the have the same thing to eat day after day, and they are sick of it. Phoebe is starting to get sick of her dad and they keep arguing. They have to keep track of the cattle and a stampede begins and they want to keep going but don't know if they should! My opinion on this book was that it was a little boring and the writing was hard to read sometimes. I wouldn't recommend this to an eighth grader because I think it would be more of a fifth grade book. The reader that likes adventure through the country will enjoy this book.

This review is from: La Tarde de Los Elfos (School & Library Binding)

This book is an fascinating and colorful look at crossing the plains from a girl's perspective. It is very entertaining, and Phoebe is an interesting and engaging main character. We really get to know how she feels and thinks. Boys may not find the book quite as enjoyable; there aren't any sympathetic male characters, and most of the women don't seem to fond of men in general. This is a good book to get the favor of the early westward movement.
