Karen Cushman, 1996
movie vs book
Jeremy Kagan, 2001
After the death of her father in 1850, 14-year-old California Whipple moves from Massachusetts to a mining town in California with her mother and her younger brother and sister. As an avid reader, her sensibilities are offended by the dreary surroundings and the roughneck behavior of the miners, and she wishes she could go home. Instead, she decides to change her name to Lucy, and tries to make the best of her new life.
