Grasshopper Summer
What's This Book About
In 1874, eleven-year-old Sam White and his family are moving from Kentucky to the Dakota Territory. These hardy pioneers know it will be hard work, but they don’t expect the devastating plague that comes like an unstoppable force to sweep away all their hopes for the future. They will cope. But they will never forget this grasshopper summer.
