Retta Barre’s Oregon Trail

Summer 1852 Retta plods west with her family. She's not the first 12-year-old girl to travel the Oregon Trail, and she won't be the last. However, she might be the most stubborn, curious, and humorous...

Retta Barre has never met a hero, except for the ones she reads about in her books. She does know that they're strong, courageous, and handsome or pretty. Everything she's not. Of course, the world doesn't expect much from her anyway...

Retta Barre has faced a dizzying prairie storm, a stubborn buffalo, and a murderous Indian twice. But that's nothing compared to what happens when her family is left alone in the middle of the prairie. One danger after another and Retta is in the middle of them all.
