(2) YA In 1896, seventeen-year-old Clara Estby and her mother Helga trek from Washington State to New York City to win a bet and save the family farm. Dagg's novel is based on the true adventures of her great-grandmother and great-aunt, making the characters that much easier to root for. Pulse-pounding encounters will leave readers invigorated and inspired by the women's determination.
