YA Retelling

This is a Young Adult Retelling Kindof. I have to say I love the Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, so I had to read this book when I ran across it. I just finish reading this book, and it was nothing like what I was thinking it would be. It was so much better then I thought it would be. I loved it. There was so many times while I was reading this book I ask myself could I do that. I think if you loved the Little House on the Prairie then you will love this book. I loved Brooke, and the characters was so developed in this book. I loved the storyline in this story. There was twists and turns in this book that I did not see coming. This was a great book not just a good book. This book is about a teenager and her family being thrown into a 1860's town like the Little House on the Prairie. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
