Bookroo's summary
Rose Wilder, almost nine, is adjusting to life on Rocky Ridge Farm in Missouri. As her father builds their new home, she dreams of a bountiful harvest. But first, she must brave a fierce ice storm and experience her first Christmas in the Ozarks. Will the challenges of the land and weather shape her new beginnings, or will they prove too daunting? Join Rose as she navigates the joys and trials of settling into a new home, where every season brings its own adventure and promise.
From the publisher
Meet Rose Wilder… the last of the Little House girls. Rose is turning nine years old, and it’s an exciting time on Rocky Ridge Farm. The Wilders have settled into their new home in the Ozarks, and Rose is helping as all their Mansfield neighbors bring in the harvest. The year is filled with danger, excitement, and joy, as Rose battles an ice storm, starts her second year as the top student in her class, helps to build the family’s new farmhouse, and celebrates her first real Ozarks Christmas. Rocky Ridge Farm has truly become home now. In the land of the big red apple continues the story that Laura Ingalls Wilder told of her own childhood, a story that has charmed generations of readers.
