This week's book is called, "Little Blog on the Prairie,"by Cathleen Davitt Bell.
Summary:
Thirteen-year-old Genevieve, or Gen, Welsh has no idea what her family is getting in to when they spend the summer at Camp Frontier in Wyoming. Gen, her parents, and her younger brother, Gavin, relenquish all their electronics, toiletries, clothing, and all other modern conveniences to live in a small cabin designed to reflect frontier life in 1890. Three other families live near them, doing the same thing, along with the camp owners and their teenage daughter, Nora. But as Gen learns to churn butter and milk a cow, she also sends texts to her friends back home on the new cell phone her parents promised her if she gives Camp Frontier a chance. One friend turns her texts into a popular blog, and the modern world meets 1890 in surprising, hilarious ways.
Look for this book at your local library and get ready to become a tired, little pioneer out in the wilderness!
Recommended for wilderness lovers, bookworms, bloggers, and texters.
