heatherdmoore 's review for:
The Long Winter
by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Read aloud with my 13 year old. Honestly, because of things I’d heard about this book, I expected it to be more bleak than it was. Thankfully, Laura Ingalls Wilder knew her audience and with each hardship the family faced, she made sure to bring it back with a good attitude and hard work. So, it never felt like it’d be too overwhelming to young readers to take in. But honest to goodness, if Mary would’ve offered to sacrifice her college money one more time, I was ready to deduct a star. If the book weren’t so serious, that bit might’ve started to feel like a punchline.
