| Resumen |
The American Girls Collection Janet Lucy Shaw[1] (7 October 1966 – 3 December 2012) was an Australian visually impaired tandem cyclist and author. She became visually impaired due to congenital retinoblastoma (eye cancer) and lost her sight completely at the age of 33. She first represented Australia in cycling at the 2002 IPC World Cycling Championships. She broke several world records with her pilot, Kelly McCombie.; they won two bronze medals at the 2004 Athens Paralympics. In 2008, Shaw was re-diagnosed with cancer; she died of the disease in 2012. She wrote two memoirs and several books for children and young adults. Kirsten and her family arrive in America from Sweden in 1854. On the ship, she's made a great friend in fellow traveler Marta, but they are separated in New York when Kirsten's family goes on a day before Marta's. New York is loud, dirty and crowded with people who speak languages Kirsten doesn't recognize - a problem when she becomes separated from her father. Traveling by train, steamboat and even on foot, the family faces challenges all the way to Minnesota, where they join Uncle Olav and his family. |
