Summary
A town of nine square blocks surrounded by wheat fields in eastern North Dakota makes an intense and magical world for Line, Marty, and Paul, the children of the Lutheran pastor and his wife, the Mikkelsons. The Cold War feels very far away, and optimism reigns. Nevertheless, Mother and Dad are alarmed by the inroads of popular culture upon their high-minded Scandinavian world, and Paul's young life is threatened with a bout of polio, which calls upon all their extended family's resources.
The story is told in the successive points of view of Line, who sticks up for other kids in trouble; Marty, who wishes she were pretty instead of smart; and Paul, who revels in the natural world.
This tale of morality, the everyday, and the recurrent is as ancient as it is modern.
