review 1: In the 1890s three children are sent away from home to escape disease. They go (with their new teacher) to where their former teacher now is- the "Sunshine Queen", a beached riverboat on the Missouri river.But when the river rises and the Queen begins to move, all aboard are in for a trip!The read was light, fun, engaging and full of interesting characters and situations. It reads as part of a larger whole, but that is life as we know it and I actually don't know if there is either a book before or after.Four stars for light read, 3 against books in general (nothing wrong with it, fun, but light and without anything major to recommend it).
review 2: Diptheria hits town and that means the kids need to leave. So Kookie, Cissy and Tibbie leave with their teacher... more Ms. May and head to meet up with the Bright Lights Theater Company and their previous teacher. They join the company on the Sunshine Queen and set sail down the Missouri River. There is a whole cast of unique characters who round out the group aboard the Sunshine Queen on their adventures on the river. The book does start out a little slow, but it is a gentler read. less
