From Booklist…
“Pfitsch brings together a brave heroine, authentic background, and an intriguing view of a little-known part of U.S. history to make this a winner, especially for girls who like historical fiction.” Booklist, 11/15/02
From Kirkus…
“A satisfying adventure with an environmental message.” Kirkus, 9/15/02
From School Library Journal…
“…an accessible and enjoyable read. Some moral-value issues, such as telling the truth and minding parents, are nicely handled. School Library Journal, 11/02
From Wisconsin State Journal…
“…Pfitsch does a good job of creating a sense of real loss as the magestic trees are harvested….a story of female empowerment, with young Francie taking on the monolithic lumber company almost single-handed. The combination of a unique setting, worthy themes and exciting action make this a memorable book for young readers. Wi. State Journal, 1/12/2003
