A review by deecreatenola
Mrs. Mike by Benedict Freedman, Nancy Freedman

3.0

Mrs. Mike is the kind of story I would've loved in junior high. Romance. Adventure. An authentic pioneer type of story. Unfortunately I'm not 13 anymore. It's a nice story, but also tragic in so many ways. I found the way the story jumps time challenging - weeks or months or years would have passed, but I had to figure it out several pages later. It was also a story, but didn't really have a plot.

If you like heartwarming love stories in the vein of Christy, you'll enjoy this. But if you are more a modern reader (even if you like historicals), I'd leave this to the middle schoolers.
