May B. by Caroline Starr Rose

Pa keeps saying, “it’s only till Christmas”.   May B. is a 12 year old whose parents have her go live with a couple who has recently moved and are in need of help adjusting to life on the prairie.  A few days after arriving to the “soddie,” the Missus leaves and the husband goes after her.  May B. is now alone and no one knows.  May B. quickly realizes that what her mother and father have taught her is how she will survive; proving to her parents, Teacher and herself that she matters.

I enjoyed the story in verse and how quickly the story moves along.  Fans of the Little House on the Prairie will enjoy this quick read.
