The little settlement that weathered the long, hard winter of 1880-1881 is now a growing town. Laura is growing up, and she goes to her first evening social. Mary is at last able to go to a college for the blind. Best of all, Almanzo Wilder asks permission to walk home from church with Laura. And Laura, now fifteen years old, receives her certificate to teach school.

This is Book 7 in the Little House series.

This edition has the original drawings by Garth Williams. These have been beautifully colorized, and it is printed on bright, white quality paper. A beautiful option!
