4-6Dear America series.
Twelve-year-old Zippy strives to understand each member of her family, to decide on a career, and to acclimate to turn-of-the-century America. Fourteen-year-old Teresa describes her family's joys and hardships as they travel from New York to the Idaho Territory in 1883. Both novels contain believable voices and well-developed settings. Appended historical notes and black-and-white photos add authenticity.
