INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Geisert, Bonnie

Lessons

(2) 4-6 Though immersed in the pleasures and responsibilites of starting fifth grade, doing chores on her family's South Dakota farm, and caring for her new baby brother, Rachel can't help noticing that her father seems under a dark cloud. This sequel to Prairie Summer is set in the mid-1950s. Geisert's quiet, simple style gives the novel's quotidian details immediacy and interest.
