(3) 1-3 Ready-for-Chapters: Prairie Skies series. Illustrated by Patrick Faricy. When Charlie's family moves from Massachusetts to the territory of Kansas in 1855, not only does he have to adjust to the transition, but he also comes face to face with issues related to slavery. His family's abolitionist views are a primary reason for the move. This short chapter book explores intense topics in an accessible manner, and readers will empathize with the eight-year-old's reactions to the changes in his life.
