About
this book:
“Twelve-year-old Emma Farley has a secret hope-but in 1832, in the rough frontier city of Cincinnati, will she ever be able to live her dream? The odds are against her, considering society's views of "women's work," as well as the more immediate and frightening problems she face-a massive flood of the Ohio River and an epidemic of cholera.

My personal Rating-
Like
prior books in the series, there are some parts that sound very familiar to
other books, but the names don’t match up which can be confusing to readers who
notice. Girls interested in becoming a doctor or veterinarian would most likely
enjoy this one. Emma has her moments of bickering with Rob in a mean way, but
they work things out each time.
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
