5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas adventure for Kirsten, 20 Aug 2003

By	Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Kirsten's Surprise: A Christmas Story; 1854 (American Girl) (Paperback)

This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Kirsten Larson, a nine-year-old girl from Sweden, whose family has moved to frontier Minnesota of 1854. With Christmas approaching, Kirsten is excited about introducing her cousins to the Saint Lucia celebration. She has a dress that is just right for it in the family's trunk that is in storage. The day before Saint Lucia Day, Kirsten's father decides to go get the trunks, and Kirsten is just dying to go with him. However, as the Minnesota skies open and a winter storm descends, she finds that her help is more needed then she could have imagined.

Once again, I must commend the author and illustrator on a job well done! This book is wonderful, with the added bonus of a chapter on Christmas on the frontier in 1854. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

[For those parents interested in reading historical fiction about Swedish immigrants, please consider reading The Emigrants series by Vilhelm Moberg.]

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not the best, 31 Jul 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Kirsten's Surprise: A Christmas Story (American Girl) (Hardcover)

Kirsten is worried that christmas won't be the same as it was in Sweeden. She discribes to her cousins Anna and Lisbeth the traditional St. Lucia day, and they decide to suprise their families by organizing a St. Lucia celebration with the help of Miss Winston in . The only problem is Kirsten's family has not made the trip to Maryville to collect their trunks which contains Kirsten's St. Lucia gown. Kirsten pesters her family about it, and finally Kirsten and her father makes the trip to Maryville. But then on the way back they get caught in a blizzard, Kirsten begins to wonder if they will get back in time for the celebration.

It has a good story, but if you're looking for a classic historical fiction, I suggest you try something else.
