content: Though from the descripition it seems amazingly boring, but it is kind of charming in an offbeat way. It describes the Ingalls family going out west (to Kansas, to be specific) and settle there because the Big Woods was getting too crowded. I thought it as OK, but there was no thrilling or excciting bits, or parts when the plot suddenly turned dark.I recommend this book only to kids under the age of eight and kids who have not read the Harry Potter or Artemis Fowl series. For lovers of fantasy, mystery, magic or science-fiction, you must turn elsewhere for a good read.
