Oh, Those Harper Girls by Kathleen Karr
This funny, fun, crazy book is set in West Texas in 1869 - when the Harper girls discover that their ranch is about to be foreclosed on by the bank - and they become caught up in one scheme after another to try to save it.
Lily and her five older sisters find themselves almost accidentally undertaking a bit of highway robbery - unsuccessful, but it leads to a remarkable outcome for the girls...
This book is both funny and historically accurate. Lily behaves like a spunky girl from her time would behave; she's likeable and you will really find yourself rooting for her and her sisters, March, April, May, June and Julie.
