I good book with a fun plot.

Dakota Spring is a book were the father has been hurt and now the mean Grandmother has to come and take care of two children until the father gets better. The grandmother is grouchy about coming to their house and she is always grouchy it seems. The little boy trys to look good for the Grandmother, but instead he looks horrible from his haircut. The mother has died so that makes things even harder. The girl has to read a poem for the begining of spring in Dakota. As the book goes on a tornado comes and the question that then goes through your mind and that is the great part of the plot. The question is, will the grandmother become nice or will she be mean through the tornado? Another question, how long will it take for dad to get better? The way this book ends the conflict is grand. It was a good book.
