Barbara Delinsky writes down-to-earth, human stories. This is a good story with some unexpected twists.

I was a little disappointed in this book. I have read a lot about the Donner Party (and even took a college class, which included a field trip to the sites in and around Truckee where they spent the winter) and even with that knowledge I had a difficult time following the story in this book. The story bounces around and is, at least to my mind, rather cryptic at times. If a reader is not familiar with the details of the history of the Donner Party, I think it would be extremely difficult to figure out what was going on. Still, it gives some interesting insights into what it must have been like to be trapped for so long without hope of rescue and without the food to feed one's children. A fascinating study of the human spirit.

Third book in a series after Don't Look Now and Never Look Back. Good drama with lots of humor as well

I haven't read this one--it was given to me, but I don't particularly like Hillerman books.

This is a great book for kids who want to learn to communicate the basics in ASL. It worked for me, too, as I just wanted to have a foundation for learning ASL. My granddaughter is taking ASL as her language requirement in High School and I wanted to be able to practice with her.
