(3) 4-6 The author of The Journal of Otto Peltonen again tells about a turn-of-the-century Finnish immigrant family. Matti, fifteen, works in the Minnesota iron mines with his father and uncle. A deadly mine accident reinforces the family's desire for their own farmstead. Details of pioneer life and of Finnish culture are smoothly woven into this engaging coming-of-age story.
