Books with title The Little Mouse on the Prairie

Going West The promise of a new life on the Western frontier beckons Laura Ingalls and her family as they make the long journey across unsettled territory. The vast Kansas prairie is beautiful, but holds hidden dangers as well. The Osage Indians want the settlers to leave the land, and the wild wolves and hungry panthers threaten the Ingalls family. Faced with danger and uncertainty, Laura's family must decide if the pioneer life is right for them.

The novel is about the months the Ingalls spent on the Kansas prairie around the town of Independence. Laura describes how her father built their one-room log house in Indian Territory, having heard that the government planned to open the territory to white settlers soon.The Ingalls face difficulty and danger in this book. They all fall ill from malaria, which was ascribed to breathing the night air or eating watermelon. American Indians are a common sight for them, as their house was built in Osage territory, and Ma's open prejudice about Indians contrasts with Laura's more childlike observations about those who live and ride nearby. They begin to congregate at the nearby river bottoms and their war cries unnerve the settlers, who worry they may be attacked, but an Osage chief who was friendly with Pa is able to avert the hostilities.By the end of the novel, all the Ingalls' work is undone when word comes that U.S. soldiers are being sent to remove white settlers.

It turns out frontier life isn't without its good points―like the cute boy who lives in the next clearing. And when her friends turn her emails into a blog, Gen is happily surprised by the fanbase that springs up. But just when it seems Gen and family might pull through the summer, disaster strikes as a TV crew descends on the camp, intent on discovering the girl behind the nationwide blogging sensation―and perhaps ruining the best vacation Gen has ever had.
