Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson

4.0

---

I did not expect to like this Western book so much. It's really a Historical Fiction novel with a supernatural twist. The main character Leah, who can sense when gold is near, decides to dress like a man and make her way to California's gold rush. Some historical facts I found interesting were the buffalo stampede, the hard life of traveling by covered wagon, and how women were treated in this time. Leah's character is so brave among the hardships she faced. I enjoyed reading about the characters in their traveling party, from small children to an older military gentlemen. I also grew attached to the pony Peony. I can't wait to read the next in the series.
