"Lots of people have mentioned how this books is so full of tragedy and adversity. I never noticed that when I read it as a kid. I especially loved this one, because the family actually moved to a civilized location. They had neighbors and friends and a nearby town, so we got to meet new characters. The creek and surroundings sounded lovely, and I thought that the plague of grasshoppers was a creepy adventure instead of a devastating loss. Plus, there was Nellie Oleson. Ma lost major points for me in this book. How could she make Laura give Charlotte to that little brat. And Pa? Pretty irresponsible spending all that wheat money before it was earned!"
"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 "On the Banks of Plum Creek (No. 4), the Laura Ingalls finds herself in a shoddy dugout in Minnesota! This book was my personal favorite of the series. It is full of great stories - Nellie Oleson, a competition between a "town party" and a "country party", school tales, a cloud of grasshoppers, just to name a few!"
"In this book, Laura and her family move to Plum Creek, where her father builds a house with timber he plans to pay for with the fall wheat crop. However, a crowd of locusts come, and there goes the wheat crop. Laura and her family have to go through a lot of struggles to live on Plum Creek, but they always find a way to keep going and they never give up. Laura and Mary start school with the other children of Plum Creek. At school, Mary and Laura meet Nellie Olson, the daughter of the rich storekeeper. Nellie is stuck up, snooty, and mean. She bullies Laura and Mary. Mary ignores her, but Laura can't help but be mean back to Nellie. Laura then gets in trouble for retaliating. This is a wonderful book full of childlike experiences, anxious moments, and parts where you laugh your head off. I would recommend this book to all ages."
"In this "Little House" story the Ingalls family has trekked from Indian territory to southwest Minnesota, near Walnut Grove. At first they live in a sod dugout, but quickly build a snug house near Plum Creek. The family stoically marches trough one trial after another. Pa busts his hump to put in a big wheat crop, only to have it all devoured by locusts. He needs to walk 300 miles to get farm work and leaves the women on their own. A prairie fire then threatens the place, and later a series of blizzards makes life miserable. In one storm, Pa, against Ma's better judgment, walks into town. He gets trapped under a snow wall for three days while the women folk shiver and do animal chores in savage conditions. But htere are good times too. I guess. Laura and Mary go to school for the first time and makes friends as well as some rivals, like the infamous Nelly Oleson. If even half the stuff in these books is true, these people are remarkable survivors."
