The long way to a new land

The long way to a new land
By: Joan Sandin
ISBN: 0-06-44100-8
Summary: This book is about a family from Sweden who had lived through hardship but after getting a letter from one of there close relatives they had decided to go to america to find a better place. But many hardships were made on the ship just to get to a world thousands of miles away!!! :O
Genre: Historical fiction, my reason is because it took place during the beginning of america and how it had prospered, The people had lived in log cabins which people rarely live in now, and lots of the background in this book takes place in lots of history in early america
Opinion: the book was kinda kiddy and didn't really teach much....And the book never actually inspired or made me hooked to it like most would. But i still recommend this book to early readers ready to learn to read at my level! I hope the young readers will like this book and will learn alittle from this.
