In this highly satisfying sequel to Our Only May Amelia, twelve-year-old Finnish American May Amelia is still getting into trouble, usually because she just wants to do what her brothers are allowed to do. Set in Washington State in 1900, Holm's story contains a true-to-life amount of danger. But even when the tragedies seem overwhelming, humorous and life-affirming moments keep readers afloat.
