Title: Disappointing
Review: This book is supposed to fill in the "lost" years that Laura Ingalls Wilder chose not to write about, when her family gave up their failing farm at Plum Creek and moved to work in a hotel in Iowa. The author did a good job of glossing over the sad things that happened in this time (such as the death of her baby brother), but you won't find any of Laura's vivid descriptions and enchanting storytelling here, as much of the writing is flat, undetailed, and repetitive. The book also ends misleadingly, without mentioning the family's return to Plum Creek, where "By the Shores of Silver Lake" picks up, so if you're following the series, you're still left with a gap. All in all, the writing really doesn't do justice to this classic series, and I'm surprised the publisher didn't make a better effort. (If you want to find out about what really happened in Laura's life, "Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Biography" is very well-done.)
