The Jumping-Off Place by Marian Hurd McNeely
4.0
This is a lovely sorry of homesteading life, for four children trying to keep a claim on their own. If you enjoy the Little House books, you will likely enjoy this one.
And though I enjoyed it, I do want to note that very little mention is made of the native inhabitants of the land who have been removed. It is fortunate that little mention is made, at it does not drop to the negative stereotypes and slurs found in the Little House books, but it does shore up the glorification of Western expansion.
