The Good Earth takes place in China during the 20th century and highlights the farming life as well as the family life. The main character, Wang Lung, starts out as farmer, then is forced to flee south due to drought and famine. He then becomes a rich lord with lots of land.  Wang Lung learns a lot about being a family man and what it means to be wealthy.

The Good Earth is a wordy classic, but is very meaningful and definitely a rich story; it is well worth the read.  The Good Earth is for a 7/8 grade reading level.
