they loved to laugh

They Loved to Laugh (Young Adult Bookshelf)

They loved to laugh by Kathryn Worth
time period: 1800's
genre: a story

Martita's mother and father died of sickness. The doctor who treated her parents takes her to live with them.
The family is of boys and one girl. they love to laugh and tease. Martita feels its quite hard to be teased. She learns how to make bread and weave. When she first comes to the farm, she writes to her Rich aunt in Richmond and asks her if she can stay with the aunt. The letter takes 6 weeks and by that time, Martita wants to stay with the family on the farm.  Its a quaint cute story. The  farm family is Quakers.

I liked the story, it was quaint and cute. I just wish Martita would've gone with her rich uncle and aunt in Richmond, it sounded much better and I would of loved reading about the mansions and stuff. oh well. That was my opionion...
4 stars.
