pagie50 - I really liked this book because it was full of adventure. Emily's mother died and she is an orphan (how sad) and her cruel uncle victor is her only relative. But she isn't just going to give up.... in fact, she meets an boy named Jackson. READ THE BOOK!

Grades 3-5 Newbery Award winner Naylor claims that she tries to never write the same kind of book twice, and although she has written westerns before, including Walkers Crossing (1999), this could be seen as her first of the rootin-tootin variety. When her mother and the wealthy woman she works for are killed in a carriage accident, meek Emily sets out to find her loving aunt. Trouble is, the wealthy woman left a considerable fortune to Emily, and her villainous uncle Victor would sure like to get his hands on all that cash. Most of the story takes place on a stagecoach out west as Emily and fellow orphan Jackson muster all their cunning and pluck to outwit Victor, and a good deal of the appeal comes from Naylors feisty chapter cliff-hangers: What in shootin shivers would Emily do now? It all makes for a fun, bouncy ride, though one might wish for a few more of Collins scene-stealing pencil sketches. As there simply arent many westerns for young girls, this happily plugs a hole in the genre.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
