Queen of the Falls by Chris Van Allsburg

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I loved it and Adam loved it. He was very concerned that the women was going to die on her trip over the Falls, but she lived. The illustrations are wonderful and add to the text. This is one brave women at 60 something to go over the Falls in a barrel with pillows stuffed around her for protection. The year is 1901 and this charm school teacher is out of money and a job. Going over Niagara would not have been my way of earning my retirement, but then I don't even ride roller coasters!
