Synopsis
In 1914, because her family cannot afford a train ticket to her grandmother's town, May gets mailed and rides the mail car on the train to see her grandmother.

In this picture book set in 1914, Charlotte May Pierfstorff wants to visit her grandmother, who lives 75 miles away. Charlotte May's parents can't afford a train ticket for her trip, but they come up with ingenious solution: they mail her. Readers accompany Charlotte May on her extraordinary journey across Idaho, via the mail car of the local railroad, right to her grandmother's house. Based on an actual incident. Illustrated with watercolor paintings.

Industry Reviews
"Tunnell does well at placing his readers in turn-of-the-century Idaho, and of using his first-person narrative to make the spunky May real to today's readers....Ted Rand's illustrations bring alive this small piece of history with warmth and emotion."
Washington Post Book World - Karen MacPherson (12/07/1997)

"...a heartwarming period piece...lovingly told, beautifully illustrated and extremely well produced in an oversize format....The story has a childlike, understated quality that is perfectly matched by the warmth of the illustrations..."
New York Times Book Review - Betsy Groban (03/15/1998)
