The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as Pa, Ma,
Laura, Mary, Carrie, and little Grace bravely face the hard winter of
1880-81 in their little house in the Dakota Territory. Blizzards cover
the little town with snow, cutting off all supplies from the outside.
Soon there is almost no food left, so young Almanzo Wilder and a friend
make a dangerous trip across the prairie to find some wheat. Finally a
joyous Christmas is celebrated in a very unusual way in this most
exciting of all the Little House books.
