Another great story, with a great lesson

This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Kirsten Larson, a nine-year-old girl from Sweden, whose family has moved to frontier Minnesota of 1854. This book takes place during the same timeframe as Changes for Kirsten, after the fire in their home, and before the father returns from logging. When the two mothers and Lars go into town to shop, Kirsten and her younger siblings and cousins are left alone. Trouble comes in the form of a surprise snowstorm that leaves the children snowbound. Now it is up to Kirsten and her cousins to be responsible, and take care of themselves and the baby. This is another wonderful story, with a great lesson in responsibility. As always, the illustrations are excellent and a real addition to the story. The final chapter includes a group of newspaper snowstorm stories from a 1888 newspaper, and then a number of ideas on what to do during a snow day. [For those adults interested in reading adult historical fiction about Swedish immigrants, please consider reading The Emigrants series by Vilhelm Moberg.]
