I think I read this book six times in a row when I was ten. It was that good.

This is a wonderful story about a family of six children, Frances, Mike, Danny, Megan, Peg, and Petey, who are sent west on the orphan train by their mother who can't support them. To take care of Petey, the youngest, the eldest girl, Frances, dresses up as a boy so there'll be a better chance of them being taken together. And then what happens? Read the book to find out!
