Her childlike credence in the fictional characters and their adventures creates humor for the reader especially while juxtaposed to Maude and Joe. The fast paced read mimics the pace of the characters in their search for family and relief. Real-life historical figures mentioned gives some historical perspective to the setting of the wild, wild west. Definitely a humorous read and continued in a second adventure even out farther west! (  ) bluemom | Aug 7, 2009 |  This was one of my reads for the Georgia Children's Book Award nominee list. So far, it's my favorite of the ones I've read recently. (Of course Gossamer and The Misfits are nominated too, so picking a final favorite will be tough.)Well-paced adventure story that finds two twice-orphaned sisters inadvertently becoming outlaws. ( ) camcleod | Apr 27, 2009 | What's not to like? Plucky young girls under dire circumstances who are trying to find a new life for themselves...the ending was too quick, it just didn't feel right; however, the book was a fun read. Unfortunately, I don't think any of my high school students will ever read (or like) this book. ( ) MrsHillReads | Oct 24, 2008 | Girls I told you a hundred times, don't shoot too many guys (  ) stoog | May 24, 2008 | When Aunt Ruthie is killed by a random bullet, Sallie March, 11, and her 15-year-old sister Maude have problems with their new guardians. Having few other options, they set out on their own to find their uncle in Missouri. After a series of misunderstandings and more random incidents, the sisters find themselves on the wrong side of the law involved in robbery and murder. The novel is full of authentic detail, rip-roaring action, and personable strong young heroines. It has enough period details to make it great supplemental reading for an American history unit. It has equal doses of comedy and adventure; it would be a great middle school read aloud with enough excitement to appeal to male listeners.
