This wasn't as good as the first two books in the series. Rose and her family continue to settle into life in the Ozarks, establishing their farm and learning local traditions. It's a bit of a filler book -- the first book covered the family's trip to the Ozarks, the second trip was settling in, and from the description, in the forth book we start seeing more of the hardships that befell the family before. That said, it as still a fun read and I'd rather have this book than a gap for a year in which "nothing" happened to Rose and her family.

Really appreciated this in a different way as an adult and how much it teaches about the life and times of poor farmers in the Ozarks of the time Period. Well written and really feels like the original little house series. An excellent companion.

The only thing that disappoints me about these books is Laura, now mother to Rose, has lost a lot of her spirit. I've always thought Ma was stern and solemn, but now I feel Laura is taking on a more bitter form of that role. Now, compared to Laura, Ma seems humorous and happy. I feel Laura is harsher on Rose because she sees so much of the parts she hated about herself in Rose. There was a time when Rose was speaking about the injustice of her new teacher and the pranks the kids were playing on him and Laura got really upset at her. But Almanzo was humored by the stories and reminded Laura of the time when a teacher was harsh on Carrie, Carrie was told to rock the bench back and forth because she had swung her legs. But Carrie was too small and tired to rock the big bench, so Laura sat next to Carrie and rocked that bench into oblivion so hard the school shook. Laura dismissed the story, however, said she was rambunctious and obnoxious back then and that she was ashamed of it.
That upset me so much.
She did end up laughing though, so that kind of makes up for it.
She hasn't lost all of her spirit.
