By the Shores of Silver Lake

**Links: Book 1 * Book 2 * Book 3 * Book 4**

I'm still enjoying reading these with my three year old. In this book, the Ingalls family moves...again. But this is supposed to be their final move. They take a homestead in South Dakota, somewhere that is uninhabited at the beginning, but by the end, has the makings of a full town.

The book starts a little sad. The entire family, prior to this book, but after the last book (a few years pass between the two books), suffers from scarlet fever. Mary lost her eyesight, so now she's blind and Laura has to see out loud for her.

It's a book that shows what it was like to homestead and set up a town. I'm excited to see what the next book has in store.
