Bound for Oregon by Jean Van Leeuwen, R.W. Alley, James Watling
3.0
Meet Mary Ellen Todd. She is traveling almost a thousand miles to move to Oregon with her family. On the way, she meets many new friends, meets with Indians, faces sickness, gets a new baby brother, and has many other adventures before they finally reach their destination.
This was an interesting book. Written more on a 3-5 grade level, we get a peek into the lives of the pioneers. Mary Ellen was the daughter of Abbot Todd, Mary Todd Lincoln's cousin, which was interesting.
The other thing I loved - Mary Ellen grows up to marry John, which I totally called chapter one!
Overall a sweet story that gives a unique perspective of this significant time in history.
