I thought this was a good book, and probably based more in fact than the books about Martha and Charlotte, since the author's research included letters from Caroline's sister about their life at the time. It was a bit sad that the throughline was the loss of Caroline's father when she was four, but I suppose that's a bit of fact that you can't get around, and was surely typical of the times. Caroline's life sounds very like Laura's in the Big Woods book, in terms of frontier technology, so girlsI'm a big "Little House" fan so found this series. Written much like the little house series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There are 3 in the series depicting the life of Caroline Quiner Ingalls.
Reads very much in the style of the original LH books. I'm in this rabbit hole for good now, I guess, haha!
My partner and I started watching Little House on the Prairie during the long, slow night shift at work. I was in the mood for something light, and this seemed appropriate. What a great book. It had all the flavor of classic Little House but the writing was better - smoother, and downright eloquent in places. It was still obviously targeted toward a younger audience, but it was still a pleasure to read and enjoyable for an adult. Caroline and her family were delightful.
Apparently this was one of my favorite books ten years ago. I seem to have started it so much that the first two chapters are falling out of the book! I can see why my seven year old self might have liked it. It's basically Little House on the Prairie before Little House on the Prairie but written after. It had a protagonist basically the same age I was, and it's a fun read.But reading it after the Charlotte series was different. Young Charlotte and young Caroline are basically the same. Maybe

I read this when I was younger and read it again this year and I thought it was pretty cute
