"Well, i thought it was really good to tell u the truth and a very good decripstion. what happends is the mother dies because she got really sick traveling to Texas."
"This is a well written story based on the experiences of the author's German ancestors' immigration to Texas. I think it has a lot of potential for a good read aloud in an upper elementary classroom, especially since there are some units available that have been made by teachers who have adopted this book in their classrooms. Although the story line is wonderful, many would agree it is a sad story because many people die on the journey to the new colony (including Mina's mother and their neighbor's baby girl), however it has a very hopeful ending with the message that although there will be struggle in starting a new life, there is always better hope for the future."
