Hans Brinker or The Sliver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge

This book took forever for me to get through, I almost did not finish it (and that has only happened with one book). I began reading this with my children who lost interest quickly but I wanted to finish the story. The first 75% of the book was long, tedious and filled with descriptions and events that did not move the story along. However, the last 25% was the best part and I am glad it ended better than it began.
