Set in the 1870s, young Charlotte and her family move north after the Great Chicago Fire to discover the rich heritage and natural wonders of Isle Royale, a remote island in Lake Superior which is now a U.S. National Park. In the Midwestern tradition of the "Little House" books, this heartwarming tale of growing up in a pioneer family on the edge of the wilderness will delight readers of all ages. "An excellent job of capturing the time and place . . . . Charlotte is a thoughtful and engaging character" (School Library Journal). Based on the diaries of early settlers. For ages 8-12 and older.
