Author: Cynthia Rylant
Very brave trying to fill in the gap in the Little House books. This was a time not written about possibly because of the pain of remembering her dead baby brother, or because it didn't involve the west or the pioneer days. The family sells the farm on Plum Creek (after the third year of grasshoppers) and goes to Minnesota to stay with family, then moves to a well established town in Iowa.
It's quite possible Laura didn't think this time worth writing about. Cynthia Rylant comes pretty close to capturing Laura's voice and openness to nature.
