Curtain by the River - Arlene Bruner

A young boy traveled with his family by wagon train to a new home. This was, he thought, the best adventure that he would have in his life--so much to see and every day so much to do. With forty-one wagons on the train, he had no problem having lots of other children to play with except the girls. They were silly, loud, and had dirty little faces.

He had no idea that his adventures had not yet begun until he walked through the curtain of mist that surrounded him as he headed back to the wagons. This was the beginning of his adventure, the real beginning of his life.

The sadness, the fear, and, yes, the joy of his journey will keep you on the edge of your seat reading, wanting to know what will come next for James. Take the trip with him into the unknown. Travel with him on his trek into a time and a world beyond the curtain.
