Missouri Homestead, Historical Fiction to Love!

          Have you ever read the book Missouri Homestead , by Laura Ignalls Wilder?  Well, if not,  you're in luck because if you don't like to read, this is a perfect book.    

      It's a historical book about a family who go out west and start all over.  In their new life they have more rights, their own land, and grow their own crops.  It was the perfect place to start over.  See, I like this book because it tells about a family's journey and the characters were great, especially Rose. She was so gullible  she believed everything that anyone would tell  her.  Manly is her dad, he liked to be in charge most of the time and he was the one who would make Rose believe what she believed.  Rosa's mother is the smart one in the family, and the one who always gets the ideas to travel. When they arrived at their new home state they looked at all the different people that lived there, and they became nervous, like they weren't supposed to be there.  But once they got to their new land they felt a whole lot better. I found that even though you think that there is nothing out there for you, you're wrong.

     I thought that the book was great and you should read it.  So start now.
