This book gets an average rating from me because it's just too easy to read. Probably more for my 14 year old than an accomplished reader. However, it is a good story. Travel with orphaned Kendra and her Grandfather, Papa Mac, in their wilderness adventures. Papa Mac struggles to make a home for little Kendra in the wilderness of mountains, trees, and rivers that no one has named, yet. When Papa Mac visits Kendra at the orphanage, she is still clutching the rag doll her recently dead mother, his daughter, made for her. He looks into her big green eyes and he knows they belong together. Kendra grows up in this wilderness with a self-adopted Indian mother, Nonie and her Papa Mac. She learns the ways of the wilderness. As always, Janette Oke writes a superb book. I've read it twice. It's a good story, not great literature, but perfect for lazy day reading. Plus, your teens can read it too.Read full review
What a great book. Janette Oke is a wonderful writer. A must have for your libiary at home. The characters are well developed, you can picture yourself in the locations described by the author. I recommend all books by Janette Oke for everyone. Give this book a look.
Not one of Janette Oke's best (and I have read many of her books). It is a good story but the story line is slow and at times you just wish she would get on with it. It is definitely not a book you can't put down but still worth the read. The first part will make you cry so don't read it on an airplane like I did.
Janette Oke is a superb storyteller and fantastic historian, and I've never seen it more accurately displayed than in this book. A+ storytelling and adventure!
