Prairie Evers by Ellen Airgood

4.0

A lovely little book that I would recommend to young readers interested in human relationships and growing up.

Prairie has always been home schooled. She's a little wild, but she's smart, proactive, and and caring. One day, after her beloved grandmother moves away, Prairie decides she's going to learn how to raise chickens. It's a tough job, but Prairie takes to it easily, and soon they're laying eggs. Then, one upsetting day, Prairie's parents tell her she has to go to school. But if she didn't go to school, she wouldn't meet Ivy.

Prarie's world is rich and beautiful, and she's remarkably eloquent at describing it all, from the chickens to the forest to the farmer's market. A wonderful little book with a pretty writing style and a girl who's trying to work her way through a host of new feelings.
