Editorial Reviews

"[Winnick] recounts the journey, telling of Sybil's determination and bravery. Earth-toned illustrations capture the harsh elements and the danger that Sybil faced on this courageous ride, and an archival map of Sybil's route reinforces the story of this little-known historical event." —Reading Teacher
