NEXT SPRING AN ORIOLE

by Gloria Whelan ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 1, 1987

Libby Mitchell (10) tells how she and her parents travelled from Virginia, in 1837, to settle in the forest near Saginaw, Michigan. Friendly neighbors help raise their first cabin; Indians, grateful for Mrs. Mitchell's nursing of their daughter, provide food for the winter; the Indian gift becomes Libby's friend. This is a little more difficult than others in the Stepping Stone series. And although historically authentic and smoothly written, it is bland and episodic, lacking narrative tension.
