Going fishing for the first time, riding a donkey to school, saving the farmhouse from a fire—these are the elements of young Rose Wilder's first year at Rocky Ridge Farm. She has moved there with her parents, Laura and Almanzo, to begin a new life in the Missouri Ozarks. Rose feels out of place as the new girl in school, but gradually gains confidence, and Rocky Ridge truly becomes her home.
Little Farm in the Ozarks continues the story that Laura Ingalls Wilder told of her own childhood, a story that has charmed generations of readers.
