(4) 4-6 Little House: The Martha Years series. Illustrated by Renee Graef. Ten-year-old Martha is excited about her first trip to the city to visit her newly married sister, Grisie, but the actual experience leaves her longing for her manor home in the Scottish Highlands. Unfriendly servants, instructions to act with decorum, and the sudden death of Grisie's father-in-law leave little time for fun and exploration. This book is not as engaging as the previous ones, but the setting and characterizations make it a good read.
