In the fourth book of the famous autobiographical epic by American writer Laura Ingles Wilder, dad Charles, mom Caroline and four daughters complete their wanderings. Dad managed to take a great free piece of land near the Dakota border. He rebuilds the house and plants trees around it. There are many adventures in the story: horse racing, meeting with wolves, beds littered with snow, little Grace lost. A new life is in full swing around: railways are being laid, workers' settlements are springing up, even murders are being committed to seize someone else's land. But in the evenings, in the patriarchal family of Laura, her father's violin still sounds, and a porcelain shepherdess flaunts on the bookcase - a symbol of family well-being and comfort. Surprisingly, the childhood of sisters without cartoons and an abundance of toys nevertheless seems absolutely happy. There are no far-fetched stunning plots in the book, but you don’t want to part with its heroes. The story about Laura will be of interest to teenagers of middle school age, especially girls.
