Bookroo's summary

In Maple Ridge, the schoolhouse needs urgent repairs. Young Logan is determined to help by fixing a discarded wagon wheel to sell at the town market.

Join Logan on this heartwarming journey of determination and community spirit, where every effort counts and surprises await.

From the publisher

Logan puts his skills to the test to help his town repair the schoolhouse in this second book of a wholesome series that’s like Little House on the Prairie for younger readers. The residents of Maple Ridge are trying to raise money to fix their schoolhouse. Repairs just can’t be put off any longer! Everyone has decided to pitch in and sell their old or unwanted items at a market held outside the nearby city. Logan wants to contribute by fixing and selling a wagon wheel that he found on the side of the road, even though nobody believes he can handle the task. Logan works very hard on the repairs…but will his effort pay off? With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Tales from Maple Ridge chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
