A review by sc104906
May B. by Caroline Starr Rose
3.0
May B lives in Kansas back in pioneer times, when Kansas was still being tamed. While May B wants to continue her schooling, even though everyone around her tells her that she cannot learn. Her parents need her to work to help support the family, so they take her out of school and send her to live with and help a newlywed couple with housework. Shortly after arriving, the wife runs away and the husband follows, which leaves May all alone in time for winter to hit. She works on surviving, waiting on her father to check on her in several weeks.
This was an interesting novel in verse about a girl's will to survive during our historical time. This shows the struggle that would relate to someone with reading difficulties in the distant past and speaks to the need for persistence.
