Better to Wish by Ann M. Martin
3.0
If you are looking for a new series to recommend to readers that have finished the Little House books and/or Anne of Green Gables, Family Tree by Ann M. Martin may be the answer.
Abby Nichols is growing up in Maine during the Great Depression. Times are tough all around, and changes within the family can make things even harder. We watch Abby grow up and adapt, moving houses, changing friends, until the book ends after she graduates from high school. There are good times and bad, and some of the bad times are very, very sad. The story continues in book 2 of the series, The Long Way Home, with Abby's daughter Dana as a main character. Recommended for grades 4-7, for lovers of historical fiction and family sagas.
