Description
From the Newbery-Award winning author of Catherine, Called Birdy and The Midwifes Apprentice comes the story of an orphan who decides to go westwith nothing but gumption as her guide.
Sally OMalley is an orphan working at a mineral spring hotel in the woods of central Oregonthat is, until shes chucked out like chewed-on chicken bones, due entirely to an unfortunate incident with a pig and some church ladies.
And so Sally decides to head west to the sea. Glorious, shes heard. Fierce, shes heard. Why not see for herself? Before long Sally encounters a dangerous bobcatand thats just the first day! Safe in the knowledge that shes fearless, she continues on her journey with no place to belong and no one to depend on. And thats just fine with her.
Then a lady called Major, an old donkey, a loyal dog, and an abominable brat show Sally that shes not quite as brave as she thinks.
It turns out that counting on someone else is the scariest thing of all.
