I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Obstinate Land. I went to college in that part of the state, northwest Oklahoma. The author's grandparents homesteaded there and Keith also did a lot of research so that the historical facts are clear. Boys or girls in middle school would be given great characters to think about as they follow the struggles of this German immigrant family. It reads as a novel and the guy gets his girl in the end. While there are bandits and heartaches, there is also humor in the plot which makes the story flow nicely. RIFLES FOR WATIE, also by Keith, is even better and won the Newbery Medal.
