(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Selznick. In this largely fictionalized biography, Ryan offers some reasons why Charlotte (Charley) Pankhurst, who pretended to be a boy to escape from an orphanage, continued the masquerade throughout her life as a stable boy, stagecoach driver, and rancher in Gold Rush California. Full-page pencil drawings give readers a sense of characters' emotions by focusing on close-ups of individuals or small groups.
