Rachel, Cassie, and Joey live in the city with their Pop, until Pop's search for work lands the family on a run down farm. Dreamy Rachel loves to read, and doesn't know much about the country. Times are hard there, too—the school and library are closed. When Pop gets work near Canada, he has to leave the children on the farm alone. For two months! But Rachel's the oldest, and she'll make sure they're all right. Somehow.
Reviews with the most likes.
A pleasant but ultimately too-juvenile read for me. The author accurately but tenderly relates the hardships of the Depression for one family in particular while giving glimpses into the state of the country as a whole. Tween girls who are interested in history would probably like this one. Not much for boys in this one.
