Sadie and her older brother Preston get into one scrape after another. Their biggest worry is that their crybaby sister Ginny will tattle. That would mean trouble, because no one watns to get Ma angry! Ma has a temper, and Pa admits to his share of problems too. So when Preston meets with calamity while he and Sadie are stealing apples, it seems things can't get much worse. Then Ma and Pa ride off to Salt Lake City to attend general conference, and Sadie is suddenly in charge-with a mystery on her hands. Preston loses his smile and his wicked sense of humor, and no one knows why. Sadie's Trade is the rollicking, funny story f an average family experiencing what historians call the Mormon Reformation of 1856. If you like mischief, you'll love Sadie.After reading Sadie's sotyr, be sure to enjoy all the other great books in the Latter-day Daughters series.
My daughter is a big fan of the American Girls series. I think it's great to get her interested in history, so this series about young LDS girls from the past promised to be a great idea. This is the first book I bought from the series. My daughter likes it a lot. Sadie is young girl from Pleasant Grove Utah in 1856. Her parents are struggling to teach their children good values and to live their religion. After her parents go to General Conference in Salt Lake, Sadie is left to run the household and take care of her brothers and sisters. It's a lot harder than it sounds! I think this book will make girls appreciate how different pioneer life really was.
