{my thoughts} - This book is a classic. It is about the determination of a young girl to keep what is left of her family together in one place.

The hurt the four children are left with from the disappearance of their mother only makes the four of them stronger. It is a really good read and I am sure anyone that likes a good adventure will enjoy this book.… (more)
