I found this book a bit boring but not at all unreadable. I liked the setting and language. The characters had quirks that made them come to life, like Pa's speech pattern. Not a lot happened in the plot, until the end. Even in the end, I never really felt a major conflict or sense of doom.
Recommended for young middle school students interested in American historical fiction.
