Welcome to Litsy!

This story warmed my heart. These children were so strong, honest and resourceful. Family and home meant the world to them. I got very attached. This book won the Spur award for Juvenile Fiction in 2020. #100YEARS100BOOKS #64 #BookSpinBingo #14 #BFC21 #BUZZWORDATHON - Home

Three siblings make their way from Oklahoma to Kansas amidst The Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and loss. Sandra Dallas can be counted on for solid western historical fiction, whether middle grade or adult.

Remember all those dear characters in 'Little House on the Prairie' and how they suffered through so many hard times without losing hope, resilience, or kindness? That's who the three main characters in this book remind me of. The young orphans try to find a place that they can find acceptance and a sense of belonging. A good historical fiction book for younger readers.
