Cimarron Girl

I enjoyed the story about Abigail's life in the Dust Bowl years of Oklahoma. It's written more in a memoir style, as though she's looking back on her childhood from adulthood. This would be a great introduction to kids of what living in the Dust Bowl was like and would be a quick addition to a middle grade American history course. I loved the sepia-toned illustrations because they fit so well with the mood of the dust years.

It would also be of interest to adults interested in Oklahoma history or in Dust Bowl slice-of-life stories.
