This fictional account of the Ingalls family living through a snowbound winter in the Dakota Territory was fascinating but also terrifying. As with most of the Little House books, I wish I had read this one as a child, when I would have seen this as a wonderful, wintery adventure. As an adult, all I can see are the perils on every page!
