This is about Kirsten Larson, a nine-year-old girl from Sweden. In it, we meet Kirsten on the Eagle, a sailing ship bringing her and her family from Sweden to America in 1854. Leaving behind the life she knew, Kirsten sails across the wide Atlantic, takes her first ever train ride, sees several big cities, and begins her new life in frontier Minnesota. It is a journey mixing joy and grief, and fear and happiness.
Again an intrigung look at the history of America, this time through the eyes of an adorable young Immigrant girl.
