Customer Reviews

A good sequel to Ellie's New Home.

Nine-year-old Ellie and her little brother Max have been reunited with their father and have gone to live with him at their new home on the Canadian frontier. Ellie's stay with another pioneer family while her father built their new house has taught her much about life on the frontier, but she still has more to learn, and the wilderness still frightens her. Not long after, the long cold frontier winter begins. One day, Papa does not return from a day of hunting. Ellie is terrified. How will she protect her little brother? What happened to Papa? Will he ever return? Readers who enjoyed the first book about Ellie, Ellie's New Home, will enjoy reading more about her adventures as a pioneer girl. I recommend both of the books about Ellie to young readers who enjoyed the Kirsten books in the American Girls Collection.
