One challenge after another has come. Now someone is stealing the creamery checks so the farmers aren't getting paid. To make extra money, Anders, Erik and some of the other boys take on extra work gathering the ice blocks, but it is an extremely dangerous job. To make matters worse, Lars is sick again and Kate isn't sure he is strong enough to get over this latest illness. | Extra Notes: | This series is designed to portray what life was like for Swedish immigrants and their families in the northwest around the early 1900's. Kate has to learn how to become a blended family, get along with her new siblings and make new friends. In the midst of it she has to learn a few things about God and His unconditional love for her and the way He wants her to treat others. I would recommend it for girls as young as 10 or 11 and as old as 13 or 14. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 4 |
