Little House in Brookfield (Turtleback School & Library) | Maria D Wilkes

2 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 6 to read

Meet Caroline Quiner, the little girl who would grow up to be Laura Ingall's mother. "Little House in Brookfield" is the first in an ongoing series about the adventures of another girl from America's favorite pioneer family. It's 1845 in the bustling frontier town of Brookfield, Wisconsin. Five-year-old Caroline lives in a frame house at the edge of town with her mother, her grandmother, and her five brothers and sisters. Caroline's father was lost at sea the year before, and the close-knit family is struggling to cope without him. Each day brings Caroline new responsibilities and new adventures as she strives to help Mother all she can. And though this first year on their own also brings Caroline and her family great hardship, they survive with courage and love.

Little House in Brookfield (Turtleback School & Library) | Maria D Wilkes

Look what I found while trying to clean up my bookshelves today. I totally forgot about having this series: The Caroline Years. They're a prequel to The Little House series. I'll have to find time to re-read these soon. #juvenilefiction #middlegrade

I mean, as a lover of the Little House series, and living my whole life within a 2 minutes drive to Brookfield, how could I not read this? A simple story featuring Caroline Quiner‘s 5-year-old life in 1845. A speedy read, it‘s making me want to fall down an Internet rabbit hole looking for locations and drive around to them tomorrow. Recommended for fans of the original series.
