A family travels from the big woods of Wisconsin to a new home on the prairie, where they build a house, meet neighboring Indians, sink a well, and fight a prairie fire.
I read these books as a child, and though I don't tend to re-read, I thought this would be a good book for my reading challenge. It was really interesting reading this through an adult lens. I always thought Laura was spirited, but she was quite sassy as well. Some of her comments had me laughing out loud. I also loved seeing how people lived back then, and I lucked out, that this was the book, where Almanzo starts sort of courting Laura. It was cute how oblivious she was to his interest. This was a fun revisit to a childhood favorite.
