I really enjoyed Shirley Bahlmann's "Against All Odds". I found her style of story telling unique and entertaining. The thoughtprovoking tales captured my imagination and claimed my attention to the end. Although written from the viewpoint of a younger person, they appealed to the youthful spirit in me and I could visualize each situation as it unfolded.

This book is really good for a lot of ages. It has stories where kids are telling it from their point of view, and it makes it more understandable. The stories in it have a lot of action and a lot of good endings! This book would be fun for anybody who likes things about pioneers and what happened to them, or just for people who want to read a good book!
Against All Odds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book was luckily not what I expected of it. I thought it would be another boring history lesson on pioneers and their struggles. Instead it was a fun book with stories based on true pioneer accounts. The author gives helpful references on what is true in the accounts given. I read it in one sitting and was excited when the next book, "Isn't That Odd" came out. If you are looking for an historical book more exciting than most, this is the one for you.
