Book Overview
Boston's Little House Girl Meet Charlotte Tucker, the little girl who would grow up to be Laura Ingalls Wilder's grandmother. Eleven-year-old Charlotte can't imagine living anywhere but Tide Mill Lane. She is delighted when a school for young ladies opens nearby. The prospect of a new baby brother and the reappearance of a long-lost relative combine to complete Charlotte's world. But a new dam connecting Roxbury and Boston turns Tide Mill Lane into a noisy, messy construction site, and Charlotte's parents worry about what this will mean for their family. Across the Puddingstone Dam is the fourth book in The Charlotte Years, an ongoing series about another spirited girl from America's most beloved pioneer family.

A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THE LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Across the Puddingstone Dam is a wonderful book about how Charlotte Tucker, future mother of Caroline Quiner, who is the future mother of Laura Ingalls, grows up in her rapidly expanding town in the East. It is full of wonderful descriptions, that Little House readers have come to love, and seems to be fairly historically kosher. It is refreshing to get the history that precedes Little House...Charlotte is a feisty and smart little girl, and has many realistic interactions with her brothers, sisters and neighbors...this book will not disappoint! I highly recommend all of these books to the Little House lover.
A wonderful book about Charlotte Tucker -- Laura Ingalls Wilders Grandmother
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
A great book about Charlotte Tucker , who is Laura Ingalls Grandmother and her life as a eleven year old. Also a sad book as well but you have to find out why it is sad. All of the Charlotte years books are great and tell about Laura's Grandmother's journey with her parents as a little girl and the hardships she had to face during her life. Also Charlotte's mom gets a big suprise visit from someone in her life that she hasn't seen in years. -- Charlotte is shocked by this visit because she doesn't know who the person is. -- Read this book to find out who the mystery guest is. Overall if you love reading about the Little house Series , you will love this book . Happy Reading everyone.
Beautiful book!

Laura Ingalls Wilder fans are likely to be skeptical when first they encounter prequels written by modern authors. Melissa Wiley puts to rest all doubts of even the staunchest Wilder loyalists. This is a beautifully crafted book. Written in prose that is almost lyrical, the story is expertly woven. With Charlotte, the little girl who will become Laura's grandmother, readers young and old learn lessons of life, love, and loss. There is a dearth of wholesome, meaningful books for today's young readers. This book fills that void to overflowing.I highly recommend all of Melissa Wiley's Little House books. Parents should read them aloud to their children--they're too good for adults to miss!
a good addition to the series

if you are a fan of all of the little house books you will not be disapointed with this one. There is enough to keep your intrest going as well as some good storylines that teach children valuable lessons in life.
