In Milly Howard’s On Yonder Mountain, Sarah and her doll EmmyLou are all alone. Every other child she knows is a boy, and all six-year-old Sarah wants is another girl in her one-room schoolhouse. From sugaring off the maple sugar, spelling bees, carding wool, and learning lessons of life, this Christian fiction shows Sarah learning the most important lesson of all—learning to trust God to answer her prayers. On Yonder Mountain is historical fiction presented in simple chapter format for young readers.

On Yonder Mountain is also the subject of an in-depth novel study Reading 1, BJ BookLinks: On Yonder Mountain from BJU Press.
