INTERMEDIATE FICTION

Katerina's Wish

(3) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Bohemian immigrant Katerina longs for her former home as life in early-1900s Colorado proves to be difficult, but she works hard to help her coal-miner father realize his dream of buying a farm. Interlaced with the historical narrative is a fantastical folktale of a magical carp that grants wishes. A touching story of persistence in the face of great hardship.
