Excellent book - 5 books in 1. My boys loved it. It is about the west during the Oregon Trail time period. Paulsen draws you into the time period with adventures of every character you might fancy upon during your journey across the west.

One book does open with an attempted rape scene. You may want to skip part of that if you are reading aloud to young children. Also many people are killed, as one might expect during this time period. Of course, the main character lives.
