I'd rate it higher but for the narrator who does a perfectly fine job emoting but can't balance her volume well (turn it up, turn it down, turn it up, etc). This has plenty of things I like: Homesteading in Washington, a young girl trying to make it in a world of boys, lots of siblings with character, etc. so it sounded like gold. For the most part, it is. I'd highly recommend it to someone who likes Anne of Green Gables or Little House on the Prairie. It's episodic and doesn't really have any overall direction, but it's a pretty good snapshot of homesteading life if all the dramatic events happened close together.
That said, it's still about homesteading so be prepared to be sad-that was a very, very hard life. I kind of wish May Amelia was a little more rascally, but I still liked her anyway.
