It's a little obvious in agenda and some parts feel forces rather than natural but I'm enjoying the walk down memory lane.

This series has many discrepancies. This particular book takes place in 1905, but references the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited with the words “under God”, which were not included in 1905. The words “under God” were added in 1954. In fact, the Pledge had several changes since 1892 when it was first recited. The historical integrity is not kept in this series of 8 books. Additionally, I find it hard to believe that in the early 1900’s children were not disciplined for doing wrong the amount of times the Youngun children do, in particular by the middle child, and especially with a preacher as a father. And who in their right mind lets a 7 year old order things from the Sears catalog without supervision, especially after the first time when it was the most disobedient one doing the ordering? This is a recurrent happening in this series.

Author T. L. Tedrow picks up where Laura Ingalls Wilder left off by novelizing her further (hypothetical?) adventures in Missouri with Manly. As a big fan of Wilder's, I eagerly plowed through this book only to be sorely disappointed by Tedrow's pedantic and juvenile writing ability. Although the concept is great, the characters and dialogue aren't at all believable.
