by Louise Erdrich
Great historical fiction. Good for fans who liked Little House on the Prairie but hated the racism in those books. The food descriptions are a little lackluster, but the rest more than makes up for that.

Grade: 6th Reading Level: 970L Birchbark House is a book that follows the life of a young female Native American. A coming of age book that is sure to touch your heart. It also brings to light the early interaction between Native Americans and the colonists. This read is great to bring into the...
This is a historically accurate book about an Indian girl and the struggles that she goes through in her village and house.

"The Birchbark House" is about a young Native American girl in the 19th century.

I think the comparisons to Little House on the Prairie didn't help. I like the Little House books well enough, but I wasn't really interested in a self ...
It's really funny that the main book description on goodreads compares this book the "The Little House" books, because that's what I was thinking the whole time too, a Native American "Little house".
