This year in my reading class we’ve been reading two exciting books A Paradise Called Texas, and Willow Creek Home.
- In these two books the main characters are Mama, Papa, Mina, Tante Lisette, Peter, Daniel, Mister Allen. Mina, Mama, and Papa decided to go to Texas and leave Germany so they could have more land that they could ever have in their lives. When they leave on the wagon they say their goodbyes. They get on a boat called the Margaretha! They sail and sail for 3 months when they finally found land! They got drop off on that beach with people who have been there for about 3 years! The longer they stay there Mama gets sick so sick she dies! Mina and Papa was really sad! They buy a wagon an oxen with the Herr Kaufmenns and start heading to New Branfels where they had a little cabin. Tante Lisette met Mina became friends later Papa asked her to marry him. Soon Lisette had a baby named Peter. Mister Allen gives them a visit but he also has a gift for Mina… a horse! Mina starts riding her new horse named Tucan. She discovers that she has a crush on Daniel. Soon they all get their horses and finally move to their promised land! My favorite part is when Tante Lisette had her baby. Because babies are so cute and it was a big suprise.
