This is part of the orginal Little house books. There is a big snow storm and families wonder how they will survive with out food.

On the empty winter prairie, gray clouds to the northwest meant only one thing: a blizzard was seconds away. The first blizzard came in October. Then it snowed almost without stopping until April. The temperature dropped to forty below zero. Snow reached the rooftops. Worst of all, no trains could get through with food and coal. The townspeople began to starve. The Ingalls family wondered if they'd make it through the winter. Finally, Almanzo Wilder knew he would have to risk his life to save the town.

This was a great romantic story. I loved every page of it.

Made me think hard about the conditions the settlers had to endure!

A Newberry Honor Book. I loved this book's description of winter/Christmas on the prairie.
