Bookroo's summary

In 1843, young Lucy embarks on a perilous journey along the Oregon Trail with her family. Amidst the challenges of wagon train life, her playful puppy, Finn, stirs up constant mischief. As they face the vast unknown, will Finn's antics lead to unexpected adventures or unforeseen trouble? Discover the trials and triumphs of a family seeking a new beginning in the untamed West.

From the publisher

Lucy’s frisky little puppy, Finn, gets into one scrape after another as Lucy and her family travel westward to Oregon by wagon train in 1843. “Stevens used quotes from actual journals to open each chapter and has painted quite a vivid picture of the life on the early wagon trains.” – School Library Journal
