Welcome to Litsy!

Despite this completely wrong cover the story inside is good. The main character Haidie is 14 throughout the book and has disguised herself as a boy in an effort to travel west with her younger brother in search of their father after their older brother places them in an orphanage. Her character has short hair and her attire both aid in her boy-ish appearance. This could easily be enjoyed by teen readers as well.

This book was a delight to read. A light hearted story with some intense scenes along the way. I enjoyed it very much.

It's about two children who escape an orphanage where their older brother put them. Join a wagon train and take off to find their pa in Colorado.

A fun and heartfelt read.
