Little Clearing in the Woods

(4) 4-6 Little House: The Caroline Years series. In this continuation of the series about the childhood of Laura Ingalls Wilder's mother, young Caroline helps her widowed mother with her job of feeding a crew of coarse, rude men after a storm ruins the first crops from their new farm. Although Wilkes's book lacks the vitality of Wilder's autobiographical tales, readers who long for more about the Little House clan will enjoy the novel.
