Author:	Laura Ingalls Wilder
Publisher:	Scholastic Inc.
Year Published:	1937
Characters in the Book:	Ma, Pa, Mary, Laura, Carrie, And Jack
Short Summary:	This time Laura moves to Minnesota. Her home was made out of sod, but Pa fixed it up and it was as good as new. They need money to fix up the place a little bit more. So Pa goes out and plants some wheat but pretty soon a dark big cloud covers the sun and insects come out and eat up all the wheat. So the Ingalls are left with nothing. So Pa tries to think of some way to grow wheat again before winter comes because if winter comes you can't grow anything. Well before the wheat part there is a shocking part. Mary, one of the daughters, gets blind. It's a hard time now for the Ingalls.
Good Part:	I liked it when the insects come and eat all the wheat, but I feel sorry for the Ingalls because they didn't see this coming.
