Suitable Age Category: 10+

   

Summary:
Ivy Weatherall and her family immigrate from London to Canada, because they want to start a new life with Canada's natural riches. They expect to live on Ivy's Uncle Alf's ranch, but instead they have to live in a sod hut on a rented farm. But Ivy has made up her mind to enjoy her new life, no matter how hard it may be.
 

Rating:

This book is well written. You can really put yourself in Ivy's place, and you can almost be there. Sarah Ellis has outdone herself in describing Canada and what it meant living in the prairies and all through the eyes of a young girl- Ivy.
