After the death of the stern aunt who raised them since they were orphaned, eleven-year-old Sallie and her fifteen-year-old sister escape their self-serving guardians and begin an adventure resembling those in the dime novels Sallie loves to read.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.
