Trial by Winter by Anne Patton - OPTIONAL

Trial by Winter (Crisis in Barr Colony #3) by Anne Patton, 196 pages.  Coteau Books, 2019.  $11.

Content: G 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Dorothy and her family have their sod house in the Canadian wilderness and winter is descending quickly. When her father leaves to find a paying job for the winter, the girls and their mother must keep themselves alive. It will take grit, heart, and ingenuity to stay alive.

The only reason this is rated OPTIONAL is because historical fiction is hard to get kids to read.  I love it – them not so much.  If you are looking for an alternative to or supplement for the Little House books, this series is an excellent option.
