I own several in the series. (had heard great things about how similar this series is to Little House…and I found a great deal online so I grabbed it.) When I first received it, I read most of the first one. I liked it. I liked the historical fiction aspect; in addition, the storyline was interesting and kept calling me back. A guess that’s a pretty good definition for a “living” book. I ended up putting the series on my “wait a few years” shelf, only because it has a romance element that I don’t care to have my kids reading at this particular time/age. (nothing graphic, just the typical girl-likes-boy, girl-is-jealous-of-other-girl-because-of-a-boy kind of thing; and it’s really just a sub-plot…I’m just quite pickey on that particular stuff). Other than this, I found it a nice read.
