This book is the best book for read aloud. When my teacher read this to my class, we all were on the edge of our seats. This book is about Mem, a girl who is very frustrated about moving from her beloved home in Hartland to move to the Genesee country. One trait for men in the beginning is stubborn because she refused to move from her true home. In the end Mem is independent because she survives on her own in the wild with a little help from Artemis Ware. The other books in the series are outstanding, too.The most heartbreaking one is frozen summer. I am currently at the end of the road home, and this series will never let me down and that's a fact. So read this book to find out about mem's journey and see if she'll be capable to make it in the wild, making it to NY, and see for yourself how her locket has helped her.

In the spring of 1815, Remembrance "Mem" Nye and her family set off in a covered wagon from their farm in Connecticut to the western New York wilderness. Mem and her mother see it as a journey to nowhere since there won't be any houses or neighbors, just endless forest. Their journey is filled with the uncertain danger of wild animals, raging storms, and cruel strangers. When Mem is unexpectedly separated from her family, she must face every danger alone while hoping to find her family again.
