I have loved the Sarah, Plain and Tall stories for a very long time!
This summer I used them while tutoring a young girl entering 6th grade. She loved the first 3 books, and the movies I have in my collection. She's reading 4 now for pleasure. She's fallen in love in love with all the characters, and would like for the stories to go on and on and on.
I was thrilled when I discovered just the other day there is this 5th book! Watching the characters and the family grow and grow up through the series has been so fun!
This young girl wasn't much of a reader before, and seeing her get so excited about the Sarah stories warms the cockles of my heart!! She told me the characters are like good friends! How cute is that? I devoured Grandfather's Dance in just a little over an hour because I was so excited to find out what happens next!
Thank you, Patricia MacLachlan for this wonderful series! One person found this helpful. Be prepared to cry.
A beautiful and touching story. I read this out loud to my young daughter and we were both sobbing at the end. Now that I have read the book it isn't surprising why they didn't make a movie out of this one. Again, the author charms with her few words that carry so much meaning. Partly, she ponders why people would want to get married; her dream companion would be one of her dogs. She closely observes Grandfather and Jack, the oldest and youngest members of the family.
Their special bond shows up in the way Jack talks, walks, and behaves like Grandfather. Cassie observes how Grandfather is preparing for death. Even the sad ending highlights the story's overall theme of family ties as they weave through generations. MacLachlan maneuvers the reminders of previous plots fairly gracefully, allowing the book to stand on its own. As before, her beautifully straightforward language reflects the manner of the hardworking people of the Great Plains.
Although at a reading level for early chapter-book readers, this story's themes make it appropriate as well for upper elementary readers. A prairie wedding and then a funeral bring together extended family and friends in the fifth and final volume in the historical fiction series that started with the exquisite Newbery Medal Book Sarah Plain and Tall Once again, heartwarming is the word for the story, which is always true to a child's viewpoint. The narrator here is Sarah's daughter, Cassie, a fourth-grader in the prairie school of six pupils, and the core drama is the close, teasing bond between Cassie's little brother, Jack, and their stubborn, cranky grandfather, whose health is failing.
For newcomers to the series, the large cast that gathers for the wedding may be hard to keep straight, but the plainspoken dialogue, especially between Grandfather and Jack, is elemental, and the warm, quiet story of love and grief will send readers back to the other books in the touching saga.
