My daughter (10) really enjoyed this book and said it was exciting and interesting.
My 9 & 5 year old really enjoyed the story. My 9 year old plans on rereading it very soon.
Such a beautiful story about faith and perseverance. Love the historical bits and such a beautiful ending. I appreciated the fact they added a note about the adversity the Native Americans endured.
He said it was good and interesting to read. He liked that they were repaid for their kindness. It is one of his favorites.
My girls (ages 7-11) and I all enjoyed this one. It told a part of history that I didn’t know much about, and had a really good subplot about honesty.
Katie Becker is amazed at the wide expanse of blue sky and the endless prairie grass of her new Kansas home. After leaving Ukraine in search of religious freedom, Katie and her Mennonite family are ready to settle into their American homestead for good. However, when a hate-filled neighbor and swarms of grasshoppers tarnish their dreams, the family decides to take the risk and race to stake a claim in the newly opened Cherokee land of Oklahoma. Readers are inspired and entertained as they follow the Beckers’ quest for a home of their own through hardship, new beginnings, faith, and intense excitement.
