Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful book
Review: It is a wonderful book. Unlike any of th others it gives you the true feeling "What would it be like, to live that long ago, but in a wealthy family?" I can't really compare it to any other in the series. It is one of a kind. Any adult or child who has read some of the others will fall in love with this book. Grab it and go read!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Enjoyable Book
Review: Little House in the Highlands is a very nice book to curl up with on a Saturday afternoon, but it is not a very good history book to read for school. This is only the first book- I think the other three books are much better than this one. However, you should read this book. I found it very enjoyable and the fairy tales told in it are very interesting. (By the way, you might have trouble reading this book if you're not used to a Scottish accent).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A really good book
Review: Little House in the Highlands tells about six-year-old Martha Morse, who would grow up to be Laura Ingalls Wilder's great-grandmother, while she's living in Scotland in 1788. Martha wants to be good and ladylike like her sister Grisie, but it's impossible for her to sit still during a spinning lesson when her brothers are outside playing on the rolling hills. And it's very hard for her to hold her tounge. Will Martha ever stop getting into trouble? Find out in this great book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This book is totally great. Martha Morse, the main character in this book has many memorable advantures, from a dirty dust-gown to a washing near the lake with Mollie and Nannie, two of the servants. The book is intersting and really fun to read. Martha longs to play on the hills of Scotland insted of doing her dreaded sewing lessons. The book is not only fun to read, but intersting, and it leaves you wondering what will happen next to this little lass and her family. (And her adventures.) Little House in the Highlands is wonderful. The book is very excellent to read, and I think that any one who reads Little House in the Highlands will agree with me one hundred percent.

Summary: A really good book
Review: What a sweet book. I really enjoyed it. Very nice to read about the highlands and their way of life back then. Very informative book. Great for kids and adults!

Also,it is great to read about Laura Ingalls Wilder's ancestors. Fascinating indeed. Melissa Wiley has an enchanting way of writing. You can see where Laura got her fiestiness, charm and energy.

I recommend this book for you and your children!
