Description

The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they move from their little house on the banks of Plum Creek to the wilderness of the unsettled Dakota Territory. Here Pa works on the new railroad until he finds a homestead claim that is perfect for their new little house. Laura takes her first train ride as she, her sisters, and their mother come out to live with Pa on the shores of Silver Lake. After a lonely winter in the surveyors' house, Pa puts up the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the beautiful shores of Silver Lake. The Ingallses' covered-wagon travels are finally over.

All-of-a-kind family - Taylor, Sydney, 1904-1978
Both classic historical fiction series feature a loving (though sometimes fractious) group of sisters that grow and change over time, alongside the nation they are building. Little House concerns Midwestern pioneers; All-of-a-Kind family features Jewish immigrants in New York City. -- Autumn Winters
Anne of Green Gables - Montgomery, L. M. (Lucy Maud), 1874-1942
Although Green Gables takes place in Canada and Little House on the American frontier, both feel-good, homespun classic series follow the life and times of spirited girls growing up within idyllic but no-nonsense communities made of neighbors, friends, and family. -- Lindsey Dunn
Logan family (Mildred D. Taylor) - Taylor, Mildred D.
Though set in different time periods (the late 1800s in Little House and the 1930s-60s in Logan Family), these character-driven historical series follow families over the course of decades as they rely on each other to help navigate difficult situations. -- Stephen Ashley
Betsy-Tacy stories - Lovelace, Maud Hart, 1892-1980
Readers who long to follow a beloved character from girlhood through marriage in a variety of richly detailed settings will find both classic series satisfying. -- Autumn Winters
Birchbark house - Erdrich, Louise
Each classic series features a young girl and her loving family settling into their 19th century North American frontier homes. Richly detailed writing reveals work the family does each season of the year. -- Lindsey Dunn

Hill, Kirkpatrick
Though the settings of their books may be different, both Kirkpatrick Hill and Laura Ingalls Wilder's book are character-driven, heartwarming stories with a strong sense of place. Both authors set their hopeful stories on frontiers -- Wilder in the 19th century prairie, while Hill writes about the Alaskan wilderness. -- Kelly White
Alcott, Louisa May, 1832-1888
These authors' lively, moving fiction for older children was often inspired by their own lives on the American frontier (Laura Ingalls Wilder) and in New England (Louisa May Alcott). They warmly recall family life and the triumphs and trials of growing up as strong girls in the late 19th century. -- Melissa Gray
Richardson, Arleta
Although Arleta Richardson's books focus explicitly on Christian faith and Laura Ingalls Wilder's do not, both pen series that follow likeable, authentic girls living in late nineteenth-century America from childhood to adulthood. -- Autumn Winters
Lawlor, Laurie
These authors' works have the subjects "frontier and pioneer life," "pioneer families," and "pioneer children."

Booklist Review

Wilder tells the story of her early years as the family settles in the Dakota Territory. The harshness as well as the beauty of this pioneer environment is described in splendid detail.

Horn Book Review

The Little House books, beloved by generations of readers, have been reissued in editions that demonstrate some poor design choices, including a narrower, sharper typeface and a thoughtless layout. The Garth Williams covers have been reproduced so that they are more brightly colored than the originals. From HORN BOOK 1994, (c) Copyright 2010.
