Laura Ingalls Wilder || In the long, hard winter of 1880-1881, Laura and her family have to survive the winter.The family runs out of food and can't eat.The train can't come until spring with more food and other important things. The hole family is shocked when there is a blizzard in October and more come. After the trainstops running,the family tries all it can to save food.The blizzardswould last three or four days and have less than a daybetween each one!! Towards the end of winter the family runs out of food.Luckly,a roumer goes around that there is a man 20 miles from town with wheat and Almonzo Wilder and Cap Garland go huntingfor it. They find it and bring it back to the town. they save most of the town from starving.The train comes with goods and spring comes. Now that spring is here,the family and others make it through the long, hard winter. || The message of this book is if you don't have everything you may need, make it off with what you have. I think this because the Ingalls family ran out of flour for bread and they used weat. To grind the wheat they used a coffee mill. The Ingalls family shows that what may seem like the worst, might not be. || I think this book is a very insperational book because always think something might happen but the family makes something else happen.I also think it is a great book because of all the things the famiy and their friends do. ||
