I feel like anyone who reads this book will be touched by the faith each of the characters have and how faith keeps them going even in the hardest of times. I am looking forward to the next book in this series to see what happens. The only bad part about this book is that it was too short.             Prairie River 2: Grateful Harvest6 reviews Kristiana Gregory Scholastic Paperbacks, 2003 I can't wait to see what Ms. Gregory has in store for us next!

The story is stunningly written, and a careful line is trod between emphasizing the dangers and discomforts of the trail without making the story seem scary or unpleasant to the reader. My only real gripe about this book (and not even a big enough gripe to drop a star, so take it for the whining that it is) is that the adult ...             The Secret of Robber's Cave (Cabin Creek Mysteries)1 review Kristiana Gregory, 2008 Best Book Ever Dr. E.'s Class just finished this book(2008)!

Eleanor is not a princess, but a Duchess of Aquitaine (Southern France) in the 1100's. This book was well written and contained much information on Eleanor's teen years. Although the reading level is supossed to be ages 9-12, i am 13, almost 14, and enjoyed this book. I think it's good for all ages.             Orphan Runaways7 reviews Kristiana Gregory Scholastic Paperbacks, 2004 Orphan Runaways I enjoyed this book. It brought tears to my eyes at one point.

It's got pirates, history and facts. It is set in California in 1818 when Spain still ruled Alta California but Mexico was at war with Spain. The seat of government is Monterey and includes the missions. There are so many possible projects that can be done with this book I can't understand why it isn't a mandatory read for 4th grade curriculum.             Prairie River A Journey of Faith (Prairie River (Turtleback))11 reviews Kristiana Gregory Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2003 wonderful!!
