Save Queen of Sheba

By Louise Moeri

Book Overview

They've always relied upon their parents to take care of them. Now they are going to have to survive alone.

The vicious attack on their wagon train killed almost everyone--except David and his younger sister, whom he calls Queen of Sheba. The two are stranded on the deserted trail, and have to live by their wits and whatever supplies they can scavenge. And although David is seriously hurt, he knows that frail Queen of Sheba is counting on him. He can only hope that their parents are somewhere up ahead--if he can find them.

Great Book

I read this book for the first time over 20 years ago when I was in fourth grade. I loved the story and it is still one that I recommend to kids. My husband teaches English and I suggested this book for his recommended reading list.

Great Book

Save Queen of Sheba is a great book for 5th grade. Wonderful story of children who survive alone after an Indian attack while their family are traveling by wagon train. A must read!

totally kewl dude

i really liked the book , its funny interesting, scary, and awesome all, at the same time , i was given over a month to read it and was done in 5 days. thats how cool it was.

It's a very interesting book.

I think this would be a good book for 4th graders studying Westward Expansion because it tells the risks of going on the trail. My favorite part was when they find the horse. Now they can travel a lot faster by riding the horse.

This was a great book!!!!!

I think this would be a good book for fourth grade classes studying fronteir times. because it gives lots of good information If your studying native americans, I do not recomend it, because it talks harshley about them. My favorite part was when pa came and the family was reunited except ma and because it was a happy ending.
