“Away West” by Patricia McKissack tells the story of a young girl named Cassie as she embarks on a journey westward with her family during the difficult times of the 19th century. Facing challenges such as harsh weather and unfamiliar terrain, Cassie learns about perseverance, resilience, and the importance of family. Along the way, she discovers her own strength and the value of community as they strive for a new life and better opportunities. Through beautifully woven prose, McKissack captures the spirit of adventure and the trials faced by those who dared to dream beyond their current circumstances.
