Not nearly as good as the other.

I don't have a real problem with this book (besides the normal Victorian perspectives on patronization and race, which I addressed to my children when we encountered them) but I don't really have praises to sing either. The story was a bit disjointed without any apparent destination in mind. We take detours that seem to serve no purpose. The family is kind and want to do right all the time, so it makes for a pleasant read, but there was also a people-pleasing aspect that I want to be cautious about my children internalizing. It does give insight into people and perspectives of the era.

Enjoyable, but not enough Joel and David!
