Little Clearing in the Woods

I just finished this book, it was great! In this book Caroline and her family move from Brookfield to Concord. I love how each chapter starts telling about something new and exciting!

I love Caroline!

In this book, Mother, Caroline, and Caroline's siblings are forced to move to Concord, Wisconsin. Caroline is now a big girl of eight, and eventually nine, years old. She has opinions and ideas of her own, from arguing with a boy who owns a shanty on the Quiners' property, to coming up with solutions to save the family from a hard winter. Caroline has truly grown from that almost one-dimensional character portrayed in Little House in Brookfield to an animated, idealistic girl. I can't wait for On Top of Concord Hill to come out!

This is an excellent book!

This book is wonderful! It is interasting, and it is fun to read. Caroline Quiner, the main character in this book, along with her mother, sisters, and brothers, have excellent adventures. This book is fantastic!

Continues Caroline's adventures!

LITTLE CLEARING IN THE WOODS continues the childhood adventures of Caroline Quiner, the little girl who would grow up to be Laura Ingalls Wilder's mother. The Quiners are leaving Brookfield and moving to a log cabin in a clearing in the woods near Concord, Wisonsin. Caroline is sad to leave Brookfield, her house, and her best friend, Anna. The three day journey to her new home is difficult. Then, Caroline arrives in her new home only to find a tiny two room cabin with a dirt floor. The house doesn't even have a door, just a space in the wall! Even when the house is fixed up with a wood floor, three windows, a door, and some furniture, Caroline still feels homesick. Concord is hardly the town she imagined; it's so small, it can hardly be called a town at all. Yet by the end of the Quiners first year in their new home, Caroline has come to love her home in the little clearing in the woods.
