Summary

At the end of the sixth Caroline book, we simply must ask again: are you not impressed? While the final Caroline story does involve a lot of "smooth sailing" talk and a skiff, this is mostly a story of tiffs, set away from the shipyard. When a letter arrives from Uncle Aaron asking for Caroline's help, she feels compelled to assist at his farm. Though comfortable with a pitchfork, Caroline has to ask herself if she really has what it takes to raise a calf and protect the farm from an intruder. We talk about Caroline's last-minute scene change, her Fourth of July bash, and what really changes from her first to last story.
