(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. This sequel to Dear Levi contains young Levi's letters to his older brother in Oregon. Levi can't join Austin on Pa's claim until his health improves, but he manages to find adventure enough in Pennsylvania--even attempting to rescue his black friend's sister from slave catchers. The plot strains credibility, but the smoothly written text is fast paced.
