Charming, like all the books in this series — if you can overlook some non-PC bits and consider the context in which they were written. The hardships the settlers faced put modern-day middle-class struggles into perspective. Although the characters in this and other Wilder stories suffer extreme deprivation and frequent weather-related worries, their fortitude and family bonds get them through.
