• She may be a miracle, but she's no proper young lady! It isn't easy being a pioneer in the state of Washington in 1899, but it's particularly hard when you are the only girl ever born in the new settlement. With seven older brothers and a love of adventure, May Amelia Jackson just can't seem to abide her family's insistence that she behave like a Proper Young Lady. Not when there's fishing to be done, sheep to be herded, and real live murderers to be captured! May is sure she could manage better if only there were at least one other girl living along the banks of the Nasel River. And now that Mama's going to have a baby, maybe there's hope.... 00-01 Utah Book Award (Gr. 3-6) and00-01 Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Bk Award Masterlist Notable Children's Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies 2000, National Council for SS & Child.
