The Misadventures of Maude Marchby Audrey Couloumbis
Published by: Yearling
Summary: Maude and her sister Sallie live with their old aunt Ruth in a little town called Cedar Rapids. One normal day while they're out shopping, Aunt Ruth is shot and killed by a stray bullet. Suddenly the girls have nobody to live with, no guardian of their own. They get along for a while, living with Reverand Pearson and doing a great amount of work to earn their stay. But when Old Mr. Wilburn asks for her hand in marraige and the Pearsons won't allow her to refuse, she decides to run off, to the west to find their only living relative, Uncle Arlen. Sallie tags along and together they make a pretty good team! They meet up with some interesting folks along the way and Maude finds out she's a pretty good shot!
Personal Review: I thought this story was so much fun. It shows two sisters succeeding out in the wild nature depending on themselves. It allows girls to explore that adventure spirit within themselves. The girl's personalities were bright and bubbly, with daring spirits willing to take the risks we hope they will so we can live vicariously through them and go along for the ride.
