Little Blog on the Prairie

Cute & fun read! I, too, loved Little House on the Prairie and was half-intrigued, half-terrified of the hardcore frontier camp Gen's family has to attend. I loved the covert text messages Gen sends out and liked the discussion of the way technology makes us feel connected. Even though Gen couldn't really talk to her outside friends often, just sending the text messages made her feel better, and I think that's true. The camp mean girl/boy situation is pretty standard-issue, but still: cute and fun and will make you appreciate electricity if you don't already.
