Walk On Earth A Stranger by Rae Carson, 436 pages
Lee Westfall is horrified when her parents are killed. She is even more horrified when she realizes
that her uncle killed them because he knows about her ability to sense
gold. Gold has been found in California
and Lee knows that he wants to take her there and use her to get rich. Unwilling to assist him, she dresses like a
boy and makes her way to Independence, hoping to meet up with her friend, Jeff,
so that the two of them can make their own way to California, without her
uncle’s interference. If her disguise
can hold up, if no one recognizes her, and if she can stay alive, then maybe
she can build a new life in California.
This was a fantastic book. Despite
Lee’s ability to sense gold, this book is mostly just historical adventure with
a touch of fantasy thrown in. I didn’t
want to put this book down and would highly recommend it to teens.
