DEAR AMERICA: Oregon Trail

We're back on the trail. Sigh. Kristiana Gregory's at the helm though, so this is a good, dramatic, at times emotional read with lots of interesting characters. Gregory, if you recall, wrote Winter of Red Snow and Cleopatra's Royal Diary amongst others.

Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie is kind of an odd title for this though, because if there's one thing Hattie is not, it's lonesome. She's constantly surrounded by friends, family and even people she dislikes.


This was the fifth book in the DA series and one of the ones chosen for the rerelease.

Not too bad an update. At least Hattie looks her age! She also looks quite a bit like the girl from the painting on the original cover, so kudos for that.

Next up: typhus in Canada. Never thought I'd be happy to break for typhus. But then we're back on the trail...
