This one does end on a bit of a cliffhanger. Since they are such quick reads, even though they're not all that special, I think I'll see if the others are avl thru my library. Oh but it was sad to see them cut down those glorious old trees. I know, it was what was done, but still.
None of the other "Little House Years" books are as good as the ones about Laura but other then the Laura books I prefer the Martha and Charlotte books. I don't enjoy the Caroline books as much because they are a bit uneven for me with some in the series being really good and others lacking.
Caroline’s family has had to leave their home in Brookfield to move to a new homestead in Wisconsin. It is largely unfinished, and the family must struggle to clear the woods and make it home. When the garden fails, they get a job cooking for the men working for a nearby rich man, but it isn’t easy work. In the end their little cabin becomes a little home.
love this series!!!!!
One of my favorite childhood books
