I've known it since last night: It's been too long to expect them to return. Something's happened. "If May is a brave, stubborn fighter, the short, free-verse lines are one-two punches in this Laura Ingalls Wilder-inspired ode to the human spirit," raved Kirkus Reviews in a starred review. May is helping out on a neighbor's Kansas prairie homestead—just until Christmas, says Pa. She wants to contribute, but it's hard to be separated from her family by 15 long, unfamiliar miles. Then the unthinkable happens: May is abandoned. Trapped in a tiny snow-covered sod house, isolated from family and neighbors, May must prepare for the oncoming winter. While fighting to survive, May's memories of her struggles with reading at school come back to haunt her. But she's determined to find her way home again. Caroline Starr Rose's fast-paced novel, written in beautiful and riveting verse, gives readers a strong new heroine to love.

The weather is lousy, I feel as if I‘ve been hit by a truck, so it‘s a day of sleeping on the couch and catching up on my TBR for me. I didn‘t realize this was a lyrical prose book when I picked it up. It adds to the story in many places and limits it in a couple. It‘s a good, quick read, though, and it makes me wonder how many children found themselves in similar situations in those days, as well as how many survived them.

Loved this story

Libby1 What a lovely church. Where is it located? 8y
Eggs This is at St Johns University in Collegeville, MN. I attended its partner school St Ben's in the same area. Recently renovated, this chapel is on the opposite side of Lake Sagatagan and it's VERY old. A nice hike for a break from studying. 8y

May B is a spit-fire survivor, a wonderful inspiration, and brave as heck! You should get acquainted if you aren't already.

My latest cunning plan to topple my massive TBR pile. Dedicating my weekends to blowing through a verse or graphic novel, or a book under 220 pages.
