Patchwork Trail
There are no children around my house, so I'm usually not familiar with children's books. But I read Patchwork Trail by my friend Janet Kaderli and enjoyed it even as an adult. I have no doubt that young readers will identify with the main character and enjoy reading the book.
Ten-year-old Erica Kraft visits her grandparents on their farm in Caldwell County, Texas, fully expecting to be bored. However, she has fun and learns a lot — about her family, sewing, quilt-making, the history of the area, and the Chisholm Trail.
Janet includes a quilt pattern block in the e-book version of Patchwork Trail, and you can even download the pattern from her Web site. She added the pattern to the e-book after several quilters asked her about it — an advantage of e-books; Janet couldn't go back and add the pattern into the books that were already printed!
The print and electronic versions of the book are available from GASLight Publishing or you can order an autographed print copy directly from the author. Janet will also provide information for the book to be used in schools' accelerated reader programs.
