About this listen

The eighth book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's treasured Little House series, and the recipient of a Newbery Honor.

Fifteen-year-old Laura lives apart from her family for the first time, teaching school in a claim shanty twelve miles from home. She is very homesick, but she knows that her earnings can help pay for her sister Mary's tuition at the college for the blind. Only one thing gets her through the lonely weeks—every weekend, Almanzo Wilder arrives at the school to take Laura home for a visit. Friendship soon turns to love for Laura and Almanzo.

The nine Little House books are inspired by Laura's own childhood and have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier history and as heartwarming, unforgettable stories.

I’m really enjoying these later Little House books. They’re real page turners! It’s so interesting to learn about the fashions & their dressmaking, & I continue to be fascinated by the Kansas weather. Many exciting bits & interesting events in this one.

Very original and country like! But the mood is very relaxing and the fiddle music adds a pleasant hue. I highly recommend this for teenagers and older children.

Perfect for country lovers like me
