Run out and read it.
Right now.
--Newbery Medalist Karen Cushman In the town of Placid, Wisconsin, in 1871, Georgie Burkhardt is known for two things: her uncanny aim with a rifle and her habit of speaking her mind plainly.
But when Georgie blurts out something she shouldnt, her older sister Agatha flees, running off with a pack of pigeoners trailing the passenger pigeon migration.
And when the sheriff returns to town with an unidentifiable body--wearing Agathas blue-green ball gown--everyone assumes the worst.
Except Georgie.
Refusing to believe the facts that are laid down (and coffined) before her, Georgie sets out on a journey to find her sister.
She will track every last clue and shred of evidence to bring Agatha home.
Yet even with resolute determination and her trusty Springfield single-shot, Georgie is not prepared for what she faces on the western frontier.
