Book Description

8 and up
The Little House books have captivated millions of readers with their story of Laura Ingalls, a little pioneer girl growing up on the American frontier. Now travel back to the generation before Laura's and read the story of Caroline Quiner, the little girl who would grow up to be Ma Ingalls in the beloved Little House books.

The first three books in the series describe the Quiners' first years without Father and the family's move to a new home deep in the big woods of Concord, Wisconsin. Caroline is nine years old, and she feels settled in her new little house. She's beginning to explore Concord, and is looking forward to going to school, when disaster strikes. It's a cholera epidemic, and it's sweeping the state. It's up to Caroline to help keep her family together and pull them through this terrible time.

"On Top Of Concord Hill" is the fourth book in The Caroline Years, an ongoing series about the adventures of another girl from America's favorite pioneer family.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love This Series, September 19, 2008
This review is from: On Top of Concord Hill (Little House: The Caroline Years) (Paperback)
In this particular book, Caroline is 9 years old. About a year or two after moving into their new house near Concord, Caroline and her siblings struggle to survive in their new home, hoping they will fair better then in their first year. One of the changes they have to face now is a new step-father, Mr. Holbrook. Now, the two things I have to complain about this book are 1: when the whole family gets sick with the disease Cholera in the middle part, the author either didn't give Cholera 2 seconds research or she didn't explain that the family thought it was Cholera when we can see its not. The symptoms of Cholera are not at all what she described, it doesn't produce fever at all, it dehydrates you, and it kills quickly in severe cases. Their sickness seemed to linger for days, that's not accurate, they'd be dead if it was Cholera. That disease sounded more like the Flu. If the family did think it was Cholera when it wasn't, the author should've explained what the disease really was. I was dissappointed by that, and she could've done better then that, even for a kids' book. Complaint 2: I think it was silly for Caroline's new stepfather to talk like a slightly uneducated southerner. People in Wisconson don't talk like that, and he is supposedly from the North, lived in the North most of his life, and lived around people who from the North also. I just didn't find his accent accurate, and she did the same thing with other characters in other books of this series.
Overall though, I did love this book! I encourage anyone to read this series. Just remember that disease is not Cholera, and you won't get confused.

This review is from: On Top of Concord Hill (Little House: The Caroline Years) (Paperback)
Hello Amazon Team

Sorry to take so long to do my review...!! I am so happy with my purchase! It arrived long before I was expecting it and in perfect condition. I had never bought like that before (over the internet) and I was amazed at how easy it was. I will certainly keep you in mind for another time...

Thank you for the great service

4.0 out of 5 stars Why so expensive?, April 30, 2011
By 
This review is from: On Top of Concord Hill (Little House: The Caroline Years) (Paperback)
I want to buy and read this book so badly -- my kids would love it and I know I would too, because we love all the other Caroline years. However, this book is too expensive! Why on earth should this book cost over a hundred dollars?
