A Troll's Experience with People Ways
I have read this strange tale to my daughter over a hundred times, each time enjoying the adventures of Little Troll who is eager to learn about People's Ways.He attempts to mix in with the regular country folk, but falls back on his magic powder. Little Troll makes the best butter.

Since this is set in the back country of Kentucky the dialog is perfect for some twangy accents. Best Line (advice from a stranger) It helps to have some gold coins about you if you want to buy a wife, especially if you ain't too handsome. ... Read more

Good third book in the Sarah's Journey series.
It's June of 1778, and thirteen-year-old Sarah Moore has been living with her relatives in Williamsburg for a year when she receives the news that her mother and new baby sister are seriously ill back home on the Kentucky frontier. Sarah immediately leaves Williamsburg to return home. When she arrives, she finds that their home has been burnt to the ground by Indians, her family is living at the fort, and her father and older brother have gone off to fight the Indians. Sarah must struggle with the challenges of living in this harsh frontier land, with the constant threat of Indian attacks and worry over her family.

Readers who enjoyed the previous two books about Sarah Moore will definitely want to read this one as well. Although the Sarah's Journey books are not among my top favorites, they are still sweet, well-written, and historically accurate stories that will most likely be enjoyed by young readers who enjoy historical fiction set in colonial and pioneer times. I particularly enjoyed the colonial frontier setting of this book and the first in the series. It's a setting I'd really like to see more of, as it combines my two favorite historical fiction topics, colonial times and pioneer life.

A microstudy of Kentucky
The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Kentucky" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. And this edition is loaded with several beautiful photographs. The "Culture" section is my personal favorite.

This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators. ... Read more
