"In the "Little House the Prairie" Series, Laura Ingalls Wilder shares the story of her life, beginning in her early childhood and continuing through the early years of her married life. In "By the Shores of Silver Lake", Laura tells of their life in Dakota Territory when her Pa was working for the railway construction there. This was my least favorite book of the series because it has a rougher theme than the others."

"On page 2, Mary goes blind. On page 12, the dog dies. It's not much uphill after that.

This is is the Azkaban of the "Little House" series, where it suddenly gets darker. Survival's always been an issue, but now there are horse thieves, hangings, the possibility of death... And while Wilder makes an effort to remind us of the fun they're all having, there's still that massive undercurrent of "We could all die, Laura's going to have to be a teacher, we hate and fear outsiders."

Interestingly, this is also the first book that's not rife with how-tos. Little House on the Prairie was about a third full of "Here's what you did to live on the frontier"; Laura's older now, she knows what to do. And that, too, is a loss.

Still, I adore this series. I see why it's still read to this day - and I can't say how I'd like this if it weren't part of a series. In the outside world, it might well be five stars. In the Little House series? It's four. But that's still pretty damn good."

By Judgeglock, The United States

"The only problem is that now I want to read all nine books.

I think I found this book so sweet and touching because Wilder doesn't try to gussy up any of the scenes or dramatize the emotions. Most of it is written in a strict, almost journalistic, tone, and everything from angry mobs to the death of their dog is told matter-of-factly. It heightens rather than dampens the emotions, and makes you respect the narrator even more. Although obviously written as an adult, the young Laura comes across as a preternaturally self-composed and intelligent child, who is open about her reactions and her viewpoint, and you can't help but admire her.

The book also, almost impossibly, makes living in a shack in North Dakota in the winter look exciting.

I see what Sophia was talking about now."

"Olivia:
I liked the book because they see Almanzo. I like all of the book except that they gave away Pet and Patty.

Chloe:
At the beginning it was a bit sad because Mary gets blind. And at the beginning she can't even see the brightest light because they got scarlett fever. Grace is a little girl who is a baby, Ma gets a new baby. I didn't like when Jaxk passed away."
