Description

One boy's journey, one family's hope, one frontier adventure.

The Janus Frontiers series introduces children to America's westward expansion with:

• Accurate historical details woven into an engaging story.

• Themes of courage, family, and resilience kids can relate to.

• Wholesome, character-driven storytelling safe for all ages.

Told through Janus's eyes, The Journey West: Leaving Dixfield captures the wonder, fear, and courage of a boy facing the unknown. Readers will feel the rattle of the train, the spray of the river, and the ache of leaving loved ones behind.

When five-year-old Janus's papa decides the family must leave their farm in Maine, Janus can hardly imagine what lies ahead. With wagons packed and hearts full of hope, the Fletchers set out on a daring journey west. From noisy train rides to muddy river crossings, every mile pulls Janus farther from the only home he's ever known -- and closer to a future he can't yet picture.

Written for young readers but loved by adults too, this clean, heartfelt pioneer story brings history to life for the whole family.

Based on the authors' own family history, this clean and heartfelt historical fiction brings 1865 pioneer life to vivid reality. Perfect for read-aloud time, classrooms, and homeschool study.

Note for Parents & Teachers
This story gently portrays the real challenges pioneer families faced, including loss and grief, but always with compassion and age-appropriate care. Balanced with themes of resilience, courage, and family strength, it opens opportunities for meaningful discussion about hardship, hope, and the westward journey.
