Blue Robin, the Girl Pioneer

After her father's death forces her family from a comfortable city life to a modest home in an unfamiliar town, sixteen-year-old Nathalie Page faces the particular loneliness of losing everything familiar. But in her new backyard, she discovers bluebirds nesting, and with them, a glimmer of the curiosity and wonder she thought she'd lost. When she encounters the Girl Pioneers of America, girls who camp, serve their community, and prove that courage can be learned, Nathalie begins to wonder if she might belong among them. Set in the early twentieth century, this is a story about rebuilding a life brick by brick, about discovering that the pioneering spirit isn't about conquering wilderness but about taming your own fear.
