Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder was a favorite of mine when I was little. Especially since my name is similar to the main character's.

In the late 1800s, little Laura and her family are moving from Wisconsin to the Great Plains. Their faithful dog Jack is coming along with them of course, but is Jack and Pa going to be able to protect the family from all the dangers they might encounter on the plains? From rushing rivers to wild fires, Laura and her family have a lot of troubles to face. This is a good book for anyone from eight years old to adult. Anyone interested in seeing history through the eyes of a little girl of European descent would find this book an interesting and entertaining read.
