Where the River Takes Me: The Hudson's Bay Company Diary of Jenna Sinclair by Julie Lawson

4.0

Jenna Sinclair dreams to write an adventure novel one day, so when her Aunt announces they are moving to another fort far away from childhood home, she is very excited. However, when the journey ends she becomes restless once more. When she hears about a school in another fort she begs to be allowed to go. Despite her Aunt's warnings she travels to the fort with a small brigade and begins school. Her Aunt is right and Jenna does hate it. She gets restless and goes adventuring around the wild landscape. Sometimes finding a bit more then she bargained for.
The book was excellent and quite exciting. Jenna's wanderlust kept the book going and kept it from being dull. She, like the other people mentioned in her journal, was a very good character. It was also very educational. I learned a lot about Canada and the Hudson's Bay company at the time.
It's a great book for young people who like historical fictions.
