Meet Kirsten: An American Girl by Janet Beeler Shaw

adventurous dark emotional hopeful informative sad fast-paced

---

Had to read this when I found it in a Little Free Library in the neighborhood. My mom’s family immigrated from Norway in very much the same way/time as Kirsten did from Sweden. It’s no wonder I know so much about history given that I read all of the American Girl books. They sure pack a lot (including serious trauma) into 60ish pages. Appreciate the historical section at the end, too.
