Summary

Fifteen-year-old Laura lives apart from her family for the first time, teaching school in a claim shanty 12 miles from home. She is very homesick but keeps at it so that she can help pay for her sister Mary's tuition at the college for the blind. During school vacations Laura has fun with her singing lessons, going on sleigh rides, and, best of all, helping Almanzo Wilder drive his new buggy. Friendship soon turns to love for Laura and Almanzo in the romantic conclusion of this Little House book.

Pure escapism, amazing pioneering tales.

This entire series has been so well narrated by Cherry Jones who really brings Laura and her family to life. I love how Laura's strong character comes through so well in this story as she matures into a young lady.
