Book Description:
In Anna's journal the words walk across the page like bird prints in the mud. But it is hard for me. It is hard for me to find things to write about.
"It's your job now," Anna says as she hands Caleb her journals, asking him to continue writing the family story. But Sarah, Jacob, Anna, Caleb, and their new little sister, Cassie, have already formed a family, and Caleb fears there will be nothing left to write about. But that is before Cassie discovers a mysterious old man in the barn and everything changes. Everyone is excited about the arrival of a new family member -- except for Jacob, who holds a bitter grudge. Only the special love of Caleb, and the gift he offers, can help to mend the pain of the past.
Caleb's Story continues the saga begun by the Newbery Medal-winning Sarah, Plain And Tall and its sequel, Skylark, spinning a tale of love, forgiveness, and the ties that bind a family together.

Jamie P. from VAIL, AZ wrote on 11/28/2008...This book is a disappointment after "Sarah, plain and tall." "Sarah" is a story of a young woman committing herself to lonely man and his family, whereas this is a tale of selfish, stubborn determination to hold a grudge. According to the book, Jacob wanted his father back, he loved him, he missed him every day of his life. Why then, when his father returns does he hate him and set himself against him? The plot is incongruent. Jacob and his father get into a push and shove type of fight, yet Jacob supposedly a man of firm character, and determination to do right. But, actually he is selfish, proud, and unforgiving. This is not a book I would give my 9-12 year old. For that age the writing style is to simplistic, however the story is not appropriate for someone younger.
