Hardcover in original publisher's cream boards with blind-stamped vignette and maroon spine lettering, in illustrated dust jacket. This Newbery Honor-wi…nning novel follows orphaned sisters Sallie and Maude March as they flee exploitative guardians and embark on a fast-paced, often dangerous journey across the American frontier. Blending humor, grit, and strong character voice, Couloumbis delivers a vivid, engaging Western-style adventure centered on resilience and sisterhood. Condition is Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. The book is clean and well-preserved with tight binding, crisp pages, and no ownership marks observed. Only very light handling wear. The dust jacket is bright and attractive with minimal edgewear and slight surface rubbing; no major tears or losses. Overall, a sharp, highly presentable copy. First Edition confirmed by stated 'First Edition' and number line ending in '2,' consistent with Random House print conventions of the period. Jacket art credited to Gino D'Achille, with design by Joanne Yates. A desirable first printing of this Newbery Honor title, increasingly collected in higher-grade condition. Audrey Couloumbis (born August 9, 1947) is an American author known for emotionally resonant children's and young adult fiction. Her debut novel Getting Near to Baby earned a Newbery Honor, and her work often explores themes of family, resilience, and coming-of-age in challenging circumstances. Jacket art by Gino Achille (illustrator).
