Bookroo's summary

In the burgeoning town of De Smet, fifteen-year-old Laura Ingalls faces new challenges and opportunities. As she attends her first social events and earns her teaching certificate, Laura also helps her sister Mary attend college for the blind. Amidst these changes, a budding romance with Almanzo Wilder begins to unfold. How will Laura balance her dreams with her duties in this vibrant frontier town?

From the publisher

For the first time in the history of the Little House books, this new edition features Garth Williams’ interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as a beautifully redesigned cover. The little settlement that weathered the long, hard winter of 1880-81 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.
