Reviews about Alice Rose & Sam: Alice Rose and Sam (3):

I picked this novel to read aloud with my 11-year-old daughter because of the realistic and well-researched scenes and situations of life on the western frontier -- the tough-and-tender dime-a-dance girls at the saloons, the rough-and-tumble mine claims lawyering, the segregated lives of Chinese immigrants. She loved the plucky main character, especially her entrepreneurial dress-making. Just like Project Runway! I learned facts I did not know about that period (and I studied American history in grad school) and I found some of the author's themes very meaningful: friendship, loss, and fear of death. Altogether a very positive experience in our family.

I loved the main character, Alice Rose. Her adventures with Sam Clemens were both fun and educational. I learned quite a bit about the time period -- Lasky should be commended for her thorough research!
