YOUNGER FICTION
Hopkinson, Deborah

Cabin in the Snow

(4) 1-3 Ready-for-Chapters: Prairie Skies series. Illustrated by Patrick Faricy. When his father stays behind to help defend the town from pro-slavery rabble-rousers, nine-year-old Charlie gets the supplies home safely, fetches help when his mother goes into labor, and prepares the homestead for a coming blizzard. The easy-to-read chapter book contains likable characters and plenty of excitement, but the emphasis on the clashes between the free-soilers and their pro-slavery neighbors bogs the story down.
