The Friendly Spinning Wheel

9 year old Kati Kruger loves living on a Michigan farm with her German family during the late 19th century. Spring had brought many surprises: the return of the Sandhill Cranes, birth of a new pet calf, and Pa's promise to let her help with maple syruping. Kati looks forward to helping Pa with the garden; Ma, with churning butter and meeting the new teacher. She and her family's Christian values are tested over and over. Kati doesn't know she will encounter an Indian, a man dressed in black, a swarm of bees, or a rattlesnake. Nor, does she know that the year will hold many adventures: a tornado, a serious illness, an ice accident, an unexpected romance and much more.
