(2) PS Illustrated by Dennis Nolan. A flowering plant dug from Ma's garden and set in a wooden box becomes a beacon of hope in this broadly sketched account of a family's arduous wagon trip to California. Using young James as first-person narrator, Turner provides just enough detail to convey the long, bumpy trek. Nolan's fine pencil portraits are both realistic and evocative.
