The Long Winter

The sixth book in Laura Ingalls Wilderamp;#8217;s treasured Little House series, and the recipient of a Newbery Honor.

The town of De Smet in the Dakota Territory is hit with terrible blizzards in the hard winter of 1880-81, and the Ingalls family must ration their food and coal. When the supply train doesnamp;#8217;t arrive, all supplies are cut off from the outside. Soon there is almost no food left, so young Almanzo Wilder and a friend must make a dangerous trip in search of provisions.

The nine Little House books are inspired by Lauraamp;#8217;s own childhood and have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into Americaamp;#8217;s frontier history and as heartwarming, unforgettable stories.
