Dramatic story, lovely landscape. If it were in color, I bet kids would love it.

I probably would have rated this a little higher, but the ebook was really hard to read in parts. I’m blind I know, but the text was so tiny and I couldn’t make it any bigger.

2.5 I kinda of liked it. If kids are into historofic, they're going to like it...Do the kids still play Oregon Trail? It was always the best day in "computer class"...

This is a great graphic novel for a general look at the Oregon Trail and all that it entailed. That does not mean it is a great graphic novel, however. It is totally serviceable for the basics such as equipment, food, conditions, etc. but not much more than that. I plan to use it with the ELL kids at my school when we study Westward Movement.

Fictional comics account of a family's wagon trip along the Oregon Trail that has lots of great non-fiction information as well. Growing up in Utah one hears a lot pioneer stories, but I had never seen anything like the cross section of a packed wagon feature here. I like it a lot now, but 5th grade me would have loved that drawing so much.
I did have "Pioneer Children Sang as They Walked" stuck in my head for weeks after reading this, but Young and Lasky can't really be blamed for that.
