At Hom in North Branch

The Grandma's Attic series is a wonderful, wholesome, entertaining book about a girl who lived during the late nineteenth century. The relationships she has with her family, her peers, teachers, etc., is refreshingly kind, considerate and respectful - something many children's books written to reflect our modern culture, lack. Yet, she gets into enough trouble to keep the book entertaining. Through her experiences in growing up, she learns the true value of faith, family, people and virtuous character. You'll want to start with the first one and read the whole series.
