The main idea is that Caroline Quiner, Laura Ingall's mother, has to move to a different house. Caroline was the main character. The story takes place at a frame house in Brookfield, WI from 1845-1846. I liked this book, because at the end of each chapter it gives you something to look forward to in the next chapter. There weren't too many things going on all at once and the book was focused on Caroline's family. It made me feel sad when they decided to move away and very excited when the parade and circus came to town. I recommend this book to girls who like the little house books.

turn back the time and enter into a world of long ago and see how people survied in day of old i have all th books that are out there so far and all of my grand children are taking turns reading my books its a nice way to spend time together

In this book, Brookfield grows into a regular town. The school is overcrowded, Caroline goes to a Maple Folice, and a circus comes to town. Caroline sees white bears at the circus! She never saw white bears before, and she thought she saw two white bears when it was really her brother and a friend in their underwear in a tree! Caroline and her family, at the end, had to move to a place called Concord...

During the first book, Caroline was portrayed as a little girl who tried desperately to help her mother all that she could after the death of her father. Now, Caroline's gained a little vibrance, as she still tries to help Mother, but also wants to have fine and pretty dresses, instead of the hand-me-downs from older sister Martha. I love this book through-and-through, and I'm sure that you will too!

I loved this book as much as the first one!! My favorite parts were when Caroline befriends the German girl, Elsa, and when the circus comes to town and Caroline is convinced that two white bears have escaped from the circus and that she saw them climbing trees in her back yard!

Great book written by someone who lived in the 1800s, show true history of how they live their life back then.

This book was great, it was a little more interesting then the first one, and has many enjoyable chapters I think. I find all the characters in the Quiner family cute and enjoyable expect for the oldest sister, Martha.
I also admired Caroline's mother's strength as he strives to run her family after her husband's tragic death. Her detirmination, her never ending courage and love really make me fond her and her entire family, particulary at he end of the book when they learn they are going to have to move from their home. The mother and everyone really show courage and I like that. I'm glad I got this book.

This is where Caroline, and her family are in Concord Wisconsin, but they along with the rest of the families who have habitated along this town, are working at building the small dwindling town, into a town that everybody would like to live in.

I'm currently reading this book and its great from what ive read! Id reccomend this book to anyone! Its very enjoyable book and i cant put it down! Take my advice and read this book! Im sure you'll love it!
