Next Spring an Oriole

by Gloria Whelan

It is Libby Mitchell's tenth birthday. It is also the day that she and her parents climb into a covered wagon and set off on a journey that takes them two months and a thousand miles. Their trip from Virginia to the deep woods of Michigan is hard but it is exciting too. And at its end lies their new home - a place that is rugged, wild and full of promise.
