The students of the History Club have a new mission. For some reason historical figures are giving up on their dreams, so Mr. C sends the students of the club back in time to fix things. This time it’s Sacagawea. Since Abigail, Zack, Bo, and Jacob  don’t know that much about this time in history they can’t be sure what Sacagawea’s dream is! Turns out she doesn’t either! This is one of their biggest challenges yet.

I love this series, where have you been!? Compared to the Treasure Chest series, which I don’t care for, this one is what I have been looking for. A third-fourth grade level magic treehouse! Hooray! The characters are well developed; the story was fun and interesting. I think students will love these books! I was surprised to see very beautiful black and white illustrations as well.
