I'll admit it. I have this whole set, and I own a Kirsten doll. Yes, that's right. And she's pretty. (

Kirsten joins her family to move to America from Sweden. She is a pioneer in the 1800's and she learns about a whole new world that she was so excited about.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought that this book brought this period of history to life.

I would use this book in a classroom setting for history , for the pioneer movement.
