Reminiscent of Little House in the prairie, life in a small house is described in exquisite details. My review: Told entirely in free verse, this story takes readers back to those pioneering years on the frontier land in America. Caroline Starr Rose’s fast-paced novel, written in beautiful and riveting verse, gives young readers a strong new heroine to love. But she’s determined to find her way home again. While fighting to survive, May’s memories of her struggles with reading at school come back to haunt her. Trapped in a tiny snow-covered sod house, isolated from family and neighbours, May must prepare for the oncoming winter. Then the unthinkable happens: May is abandoned. She wants to contribute, but it’s hard to be separated from her family by fifteen long, unfamiliar miles. What this book is about: May is helping out on a neighbour’s Kansas prairie homestead for a short time until Christmas. An engaging read Title: May B: a novel Author: Caroline Starr Rose Genre: Fiction – historical (in verse) Publication details: Schwartz & Wade Books NY, 2012 ISBN: 9781582463933 (Hardcover)
