The Rough-Face Girl by Rafe Martin

The Rough-Face girl lives on Lake Ontario in wigwams. The rough-Face girl (tends the fire, and gets burnt and scarred, and that is why she was called The Rough-Face Girl), lives with her very poor father and two older and hard-hearted sisters. Her sisters ask for beautiful things and their father gives them those things. They proudly stride through the village wearing these things. They do this because they want to marry the Invisible Being. The Invisible Being is a man who is so big . Many women wanted to marry him, but no one could see him, so no one could marry him. The sisters did not answer the questions that the I.B.'s sister asks them. One day, the rough-face Girl asks her father kindly for some pretty things, but the father has none. Instead, he only has some broken shells. The rough-face girl wears these and also makes some strange clothing. After this, she walks through the village, and people laugh and yell at her. But still, she keeps walking to marry the I.B. When she comes to the I.B.'s home, the sister of the I.B. asks the same questions the sister asked the two older sisters. The rough-face girl gets the questions right!!!!!!!! The rough-face girl gets to marry the Invisible Being and they never have parted.

What I Have Been Reading

I have not posted in a long time, but these are the books I have been reading. I have been reading Little Women, and it is a very, very, very splendid book. It is about four girls and their mother. Their father is at war, and I do not know what war he is in. The girls' names are Margaret(the sisters call her Meg), Josephine(the sisters call her Jo), Elizabeth(the sisters call her Beth), and Amy. Meg is the oldest, Amy the youngest, Jo the older middle, and Beth the younger middle. They go through so many hardships, but there is lots of happiness, too. It also has beautiful pictures. Oh! I almost forgot! The author is Louisa May Alcott.

The other book I have been reading is the second book of Ember, it is called The People of Sparks. I finished it on the night of the 12th because I stayed up till 10:50 reading! There was a fire and Lina helped put it out. there was a fire because some of the Emberites were fighting. It was a really, really, really cool book!
