The Courage of Sarah Noble

In 1707, eight-year-old Sarah Noble sets off through the Connecticut wilderness with her father to build a new home for their family, holding tight to her mother's words: keep up your courage. When her father goes back for the rest of the family, Sarah must stay behind with Native neighbors she once feared, and discovers that being brave means going on even when you're afraid. A Newbery Honor classic based on a true story, ideal as an early chapter book.
