Time is moving forward and after a few poor years in Plum Creek the family decide to move on. Pa is offered a job with the railroad and moves on, further west to find a claim but how will they survive wintrer when no one is around and will Pa stake their claim in time?
With a surprise reappearance from some key characters of early years and a twist for poor Mary this is a sign of improved memory as the writing just rolls you along in the story.

They're finally settled and I did a little jig at Laura's first sight of Almanzo

I finally got back to the Little House on the Prairie series I started last year. This book wasn't the best - a continuation of the same story lines but fragmented, not a stand-alone book, but something wedged between.

Obligatory 5 stars due to the setting of OUR HOMELAND, South Dakota!! The girls and I were super excited to read about the Ingalls homestead that we go and visit in De Smet at least once a summer... also, mentions of Huron, Mitchell, Brookings... fun to see how the towns were starting in Laura's world. I can't wait to read her biography which is being released about now I believe... there are a lot of sad things in between the lines in the beginning... they had a baby brother, right? Everyone got scarlet fever and Mary lost her eyesight. But, being written for children, the narration is pretty plucky as usual. The girls were on the edge of their seats, eyes huge, as I read the chapter at the end in which 3 year old Grace is lost on the prairie and everyone is screaming... Laura screams to Carrie, "Shut up!!" Pretty intense stuff!

Not sure why, but I did not enjoy this one as much. But still a 3.5.
