Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge

3.0

This book was an interesting read. I'd started long ago in the wintertime while living on Prairie St., but never could get much farther into it. The book starts out with Hans and his sister but then moves on to talk about a group of boys that Hans knows. The book follows their adventures while skating around on the frozen canals in Holland to travel all over to various cities in Holland and what happens to them on their trip. This was really weird since it had nothing to do with Hans or if he was mentioned he was a bit player in that part of the story. The last part of the book then focused on Hans and some about his sister. Everything turned out great for Hans, his sister, and their family and it was pretty unbelievable and shocking how it all got resolved.
