Susan of the Green Mountains

By Genevieve Fox
Level 10
Review:

“Susan looked dreamily ahead. Somewhere, two hundred miles or more away, would be her new home–a log cabin in the woods. For neighbors, they would have only bears and wolves and foxes. There would be no school. Everything was going to be different.” Leaving behind all that is dear and familiar, 13-year-old Susan Eldredge ventures into the forested mountains of the Hampshire Grants with her family. Building a homestead is no small task. Many dangers surround the family, and when the Yorkers come to steal her family’s land and destroy their efforts, Susan’s true test of courage begins.
