Farmer Boy
From the second paragraph of the first chapter:
“Down a long road through the woods a little boy truged to school, with his big brother Royal and his two sisters, Eliza Jane and Alice. Royal was thirteen years old, Eliza Jane was twelve, and Alice was 10. Almanzo was the youngest of all, and this was his first going-to-school, because he was not quite nine years old.”
Syncronicity:
I read Kindergarten Cram just minutes before turning on Farmer Boy for quiet time.
