Book Reviews of Journey to Nowhere
Book Review: Wonderful historical fiction from a young girl's POV
Summary: 4 Stars
It's 1815, and 11-year-old Remembrance Nye and her family are heading for a new life in the wilderness of upstate New York. Uncomfortable with the idea of leaving her beloved extended family and the Connecticut farm on which she grew up, Mem is further discouraged during the family's long wagon journey. Within days of leaving home, Mem falls off the back of the wagon, unbeknownst to her parents, and wanders desperately through the forest until they realize they need to retrace their steps. Mean turkey "drovers" harass and attack the family; then Mama nearly drowns. What else could possibly go wrong?
Yet amidst despair, there's always hope. The love and determination of the Nye family keeps them going, and young readers cheer them on in every chapter.
Summary of Journey to Nowhere
In the spring of 1815, Remembrance "Mem" Nye and her family set off in a covered wagon from their farm in Connecticut to the western New York wilderness. Mem and her mother see it as a journey to nowhere since there won't be any houses or neighbors, just endless forest. Their journey is filled with the uncertain danger of wild animals, raging storms, and cruel strangers. When Mem is unexpectedly separated from her family, she must face every danger alone while hoping to find her family again.General Books
