In Care of Cassie Tucker

I absolutly love this book . This is a very rare find . It is all about this girl named Cassie in the 1900's . My age recomendation is 10 and up . If you are reading my review right now , PLEASE buy it . It is an extremly thrilling and exciting tale !!!!!!

This book is a wonderful book that not many people come across. I checked it out at the library, and book of few Due Dates during the last four years, maybe 11 times previous to mine. I just happened to run across this book when researching 1800's Nebraska. It looked like a good book, so I checked it out and read it. I read it in three days, with limited reading time. This is a great book about an 11 year old girl who is crossing from the harsh times of the 1890's to a great time of modern inventions. She is about to meet "the end of the world" (1900) which reminds me much of our meeting "the end of the world" in 2000. Through the centeries, people have changed and life has become more complex, but life is just the same in picking up a great book telling of life from over 100 years ago.

Oh I love this book. I was looking through books that other people read that also liked this book. I read this book a while ago so I might be wrong in some parts. I think Evan Tucker's parents died so we went to live with his aunt and uncle. Cassie his cousin helps him in Blue Hill, Nebraska. I remember that at the end Evan's teacher writes him a letter with this on it: Mr. Evan Tucker c/o Cassie Tucker Blue Hill, Nebraska I thought that was so cute. I love to read love stories but this isn't one. I think that Evan shouldn't be Cassie's cousin so at the end they can fall in love. That's what I think so read this book and don't yell at me if I'm wrong in my review or what I think Evan and Cassie should or shouldn't be.

Cassie Tucker is the only daughter of a preacher in 1899 Nebraska. She does have two brothers, one older, one younger, but she wants a sister. So she's dissapointed when she hears her cousin, fourteen year old Evan, is coming to live with the Tuckers. Through a fall of changes, and an unexpected blizzard that nearly claims Evan's life, Cassie comes to accept him as a part of the family. This novel of a farm girl at the turn of the twentieth century is meaningful today, as we face the upcoming start of the twenty first century.
