"This is a Newberry Honor book that tells about a girl who came to America before the Revolution and was immediately orphaned. She binds herself to a frontier family as a servant and proves to be a plucky, intelligent survivor. This was a fabulous novel about a period and setting in our countries history about which I knew little. I highly recommend it."
"This came from a stack of YA books that I have been vetting for Gregory. It's a solid historical fiction that was written in 1932. It presents an idealized world and is fairly predictable but it has some good lessons, kept my interest, and managed to bring tears to my eyes (granted that is pretty easy to do :) )."
"YA fiction about a 12-year-old French girl who is indentured to a pioneer family homesteading on the Maine coast. It's no "Little House," obviously, although it's chock full of offensive references to "Injuns." It's also no "Country of the Pointed Firs," though it is similarly evocative of the beauty of the wild Maine coast, just not as artful as Orne-Jewett. Despite its failings, I am a sucker for pioneer-themed YA and Calico Bush didn't disappoint in its descriptions of maple sugaring, log cabin-building, winter hardship and the gory accidents that befall pioneer children."
