Carly Mills Pioneer Girl

​Carly Mills has a BRAND-NEW Look!

Carly Mills Pioneer Girl begins in the exact moment it should, aiming right to the hearts and minds of our young pioneer girls of today.
 Genevieve Allpass, CEO & Founder of PEACEful Humans Inc.

This book is a time travelling romp with a feminist heart. Learning about important female figures has never been more fun!
Dr Tara East, author and lecturer in creative writing

​Once again Jane Smith has managed to take a piece of Australian history and weave an interesting story with engaging characters that is guaranteed to appeal to her target readers. It will fit perfectly into the primary school curriculum and will, I’m sure, become the next ‘in demand' series.
 Allen Heald, educational bookseller 22 years
