Reviews
“Hart well conveys the sights, smells, and sounds of a nineteenth-century steamboat as well as Emma’s gradual move away from willfulness and muddled thinking. There’s never a dull moment…” ―Booklist
“Especially suited to “American Girl” series fans looking for slightly longer books. Emma is a plucky heroine…readers will enjoy following her as she learns and grows.” ―School Library Journal
Awards
