 Good Book but..... September 16, 2008
This a wonderful series, I enjoy it so much. Caroline, her mother and siblings struggle to live in their new home in a clearing in the woods is memorable. I also adore this new guy they introduce who graciously helps their family time and time again, Mr. Holbrook. I'm writing a book, and this man reminds me of the main character in my noval in his quiet, yet kind personality.
I'm glad I got this book for only 3.00 dollars. I got a miracle on that, considering the way the prices for this book range. I hope they republish it soon, its ridiculous how these prices go.

There is an impossible situation that uproots the Quiner family from the roots of where they once resided. It was necessary that a new area was found in order to reside in. The new area to settle was near a small town called Concord. They realized that this wasn't built up, and there were very rustic conditions in which there was no running water, no crops, etc. they had to start from scratch in all of this. They were fortunate that they got assistance from a wealthy man who lived in Concord. To find out what type of assistance this wealthy man provided, and the specifics on the comments about the welfare of the family, read this book, and you won't be disappointed.

In this book, Mother, Caroline, and Caroline's siblings are forced to move to Concord, Wisconsin. Caroline is now a big girl of eight, and eventually nine, years old. She has opinions and ideas of her own, from arguing with a boy who owns a shanty on the Quiners' property, to coming up with solutions to save the family from a hard winter. Caroline has truly grown from that almost one-dimensional character portrayed in Little House in Brookfield to an animated, idealistic girl. I can't wait for On Top of Concord Hill to come out!

An enchanting depiction of the Quiner family's move after loosing thier home, through the eyes of a little girl. The story brings all the senses to life and has the reader wanting more. It is best if followed in order of the series starting with Little House in Brookville.
