Little House in the Bush: Growing Up in New Zealand

More about the book

Thirteen-year-old Wendy and her two sisters would rather loll on their beds reading than go for a hike, but their father is determined to pass on his pioneering heritage. When the girls' parents buy forty acres up Mount Tiger, Wendy finds herself plunged into a hut in the bush among the possums and rats. No electricity, running water, or a proper bathroom is a shock at first, but as time goes on, Wendy and her sisters discover simple living has a charm all of its own
