Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-Nine-year-old Joshua continues his account of his family's move to Oregon begun in Westward to Home (2001) and continued in A Perfect Place (2002, both Scholastic). Wild Year covers frontier living in the Willamette Valley and, unusual for a beginning chapter book, the establishment of territorial government. These details of frontier life may not be as "wild" as the title implies, especially after the previous trials and tribulations on the Oregon Trail. Yet the promise of going to school for the first time after the long journey, the safe return of a lost younger sister, and the prospect of adding two orphans to the McCullough family will hold readers' interest, especially if they have read the earlier titles. Despite the diary format, Hermes creates a smooth, economical narrative that is supplemented with a brief historical endnote.
