Bookroo's summary
In 'Wagons, Ho!', two girls embark on life-changing journeys from Missouri to Oregon—one in 1846 by covered wagon, the other in 2011 by minivan. Despite the century gap, both face the bittersweet challenge of leaving home and the excitement of new adventures. As they traverse the Rocky Mountains and visit iconic landmarks, each girl discovers the universal trials and triumphs of moving. Will they find comfort in their new surroundings and make new friends? This tale intertwines history with the timeless emotions of change and adaptation.
From the publisher
Two girls move from Missouri to Oregon—one in 1846 and one in 2011. One trip takes five months and the other five days. One trip is in a covered wagon, the other in a car. But both girls will miss their old homes and worry about the long trip. Both girls stop at well-known landmarks and travel the Rocky Mountains. And as each girl reaches her new home, she finds her new room and her new friends. Wagons Ho! is a unique look at both history and the concerns all kids have when moving to a new home.
