Prairie Evers by Ellen Airgood

3.0

Like Capricorn in "Schooled," Prairie has never attended school and isn't sure how to interact with the kids. Like Ruby in "Love, Ruby Lavender'" Prairie has a strong and supportive relationship with her spunky grandmother. Like Ally in "Every Soul a Star," Prairie has a strong connection with the natural world. And like these characters, Prairie is a unique and likable character. Airgood is a talented writer and has given Prairie an unusual and authentic voice. With short chapters and lots of ups and downs, the story moves quickly. I appreciated that not every aspect of the story ended positively, and that adults were portrayed pretty evenly. I think 4th and 5th grade girls who appreciate quirky friendship stories will appreciate "Prairie Evers."
