Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a lesson in getting along on a long trip!
Review: ... I really liked this book. Betsy and her cousin George and their families are traveling west in the 1800s. George does everything he can to bother Betsy. It works everytime! There was no T.V. or radios to enertain the children, they had to make up games. It was fun to read about how things where in that time of history. If you have to read a historical fiction for a book report, this is a good one to choose.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is also called Betsy's River Adventure
Review: The new series called Sisters in time are the same as many American Adventure titles. This is a great story of Ameican history. Fun to read too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another good book from the American Adventure series.
Review: When her parents decide that the family will leave Boston to travel west to the growing city of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the spring of 1808, thirteen-year-old Betsy Miller is unhappy. She will miss her home and her best friend, and since her aunt and uncle have also decided to move to Cincinnati, she will have to put up with her annoying eleven-year-old cousin George during the journey. George never misses a chance to tease Betsy, and seems to enjoy humiliating her. Betsy, who has always been shy and quiet, has decided it's finally time to get her revenge. During their long, difficult, and sometimes dangerous journey, will Betsy and George be able to call a truce and work together for the good of their families?

Young readers who enjoyed previous American Adventure books are sure to enjoy this one as well, which introduces a new generation of the family featured in the series. I look forward to reading the next few books in the series, and recommend this series to young readers who enjoy historical fiction.
