Summary: Perfect story for book reports!
Comment: My 9 year old daughter received a copy of this book and chose it for her class book report. We both enjoyed the story of Susan Farmer and found it fascinating to read about her life in what is now Fort Worth (our town.) I recommend this book for elementary students and would encourage teachers to read it to them. What a great way to capture reading and history together in one lesson.

Summary: Girl On The Bluff was captivating from the very beginning!
Comment: I immediately became enthralled in this wonderfully written book of a young girl in the frontier days of Fort Worth. This book makes history for children a fun and exciting adventure. It was a bonding time for my seven year old and I when we read it together. It's a MUST READ!

Summary: An engaging, lively slice of history
Comment: Well grounded in fact, the story proceeds briskly, with lots of dialogue and fascinating details to hold the reader's interest. Here I found confirmation of something I'd read recently in a book on pioneer crafts--that leather tanned the Indian way, using animal brains, was softer and more supple than today's commercially tanned leathers. The tidbit about making one's own ink from gall balls on oak trees is another of the many authentic touches that add color and interest to this highly readable tale. History buffs of any age will find much to enjoy in this meaty account of Susan Ann Farmer's girlhood on the Texas frontier.
