《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 3-6Based on primary-source materials, these titles convey a sense of life in a certain era. Both books pack in a lot of detailsincluding concluding "true story" notesbut they fail to make the character or history come alive. In Julie Meyer, a family journeys west from Indiana to Oregon in 1847. The more engaging of the two, this book is still populated by stock characters and situations, from the always-wise Poppa to the foolish family that splits off from the group and suffers because of it. In Sally Bradford, the girl's father is against slavery but is a dedicated confederate nevertheless. The story focuses on the family's concern about their men who are fighting in the war and the destruction of their home by the invading Yankees; there is also an artificial subplot about Sally's friendship with a slave girl that tries to demonstrate the horrors of slavery. Full- and partial-page watercolor illustrations are scattered throughout both books. Despite attractive layouts, these titles fall short of the authors' excellent nonfiction historical accounts.Cyrisse Jaffee, formerly at Newton Public Schools, MA (c) Copyright 2010.

Given the glut of girls' historical fiction series available, these volumes cover familiar ground, but at least do so in an entertaining, competently written fashion. Occasional sugarcoated moments, as when white, Southern Sally Bradford too easily befriends a slave girl, don't diminish the overall feel for the time periods. Each book is accompanied by a time line and attractive, though rather prettified, illustrations. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Gr. 4^-7. Two new titles in the Her Story series offer better-than-average historical fiction for middle-grade readers. Julie Meyer and her family travel west from northern Indiana to Oregon in 1847. Life along the trail presents the usual hardships and dangers, but the Meyers persevere and arrive safely in the Willamette Valley. Sally Bradford and her family operate a small farm without slaves outside Norfolk, Virginia, until the Civil War changes their lives. Mr. Bradford and his sons serve as soldiers for the Confederacy, and Mrs. Bradford and her daughters work at a military hospital in Richmond. No source notes are included; however, both stories are based on first-person accounts and period diaries. The Hooblers pay close attention to the details of local color, and each book is appended with a time line and a historical note about the real people mentioned in the story. Although the color illustrations give the series a younger feel, these books will be welcomed by classrooms looking for historical novels. --Kay Weisman
