American Sisters
Down
the Rio Grande
1829
I
enjoyed the story. It was exciting and adventurous. It was
about a girl named
Rosita who feels unappreciated, so she runs away. Her stepsister Maria
(whom
she doesn't like) follows her onto a boat and they end up going down
the Rio
Grande. While on the boat, Maria and Rosita become friends. Also while
on the
boat, someone comes by and asks if they've seen Rosita and Maria and
said that
their father was ill because he missed them so much. The guy who finds
them
gets a reward, so the captain of the boat decided to lock them in a
room to try
to get more money out of the father. But the girls had a plan. They
would carve
their way out through the roof of the boat and climb out and be free.
Only
things went wrong. Rosita had Maria climb down first and Maria fell
into the
fast rushing water. Rosita jumped into the water to find her but she
couldn't,
so she went up onto the shore, upset because she might never see her
sister
again, so she started singing. After a while, Maria came through the
trees.
Maria said she heard the singing while in the water and that gave her
the
strength to get out and find her. They were very happy as they started
walking
the long walk home.

Pretty cool post; never underestimate the intelligence of a child.
I would expect that as any artist you have compensated her handsomely for her efforts.
Tom - There certainly is no shortage of brains with Meesha and she will change to world one day. Not sure, how but it certainly will be in her own unique way.
Terry - This is part of her education for school, learning to create work and get it published, but yes, she is getting paid also! My son will eventually be joining with his own book reviews, but he is younger and doesn't read as fast as Meesha, but expect some from him also.
Todd --- please let Meesha know how much I enjoyed her book report -- I will look forward to her future ones.
Mama Liz
Meesha -
You are 11. Who would know? Your book review is so excellent.
You must have a great teacher...or two...right there at home.
I'm looking forward to meeting you.
