Reviews
"Cushman's heroine is a delightful character, and the historical
setting is authentically portrayed. Lucy's story, as the author points
out in her end notes, is the story of many pioneer women who exhibited
great strength and courage as they helped to settle the West."
—School Library Journal, starred review
"The recent Newbery medalist plunks down two more strong-minded women,
this time in an 1849 mining camp—a milieu far removed from the Middle
Ages of her first novels, but not all that different when it comes to
living standards. ... With a story that is less a period piece than a
timeless and richly comic coming-of-age story, Cushman remains on a
roll."
—Kirkus Reviews, with pointers
