[.ca] Little House on Rocky Ridge (ISBN 0061148091)

fictionalize version of On the Way Home:
It's Laura's road diary ficitionalized in Rose's voice, and just as charming as Little House. A little thinner on plot than the 7 books that follow, but kudos to those who thought to bring this series to print.

Rose's First Book:
Mr. Roger Lea Macbride is a wonderful author; he makes Rose's life more exciting and enchanted, yet realistic and serious at the same time. I lived in another country in Eastern Asia a few years before. I am now a student in Luther School, where I realized that America is truly the greatest country in the world if the Little House girls had lived in it. "Little House on Rocky Ridge is the beginning of Rose's life, from South Dakota to Missori. When I used to live in that country in Asia, books came out slower than you could ever imagine! I had only read 6 books of the Little House books in my whole life-"Little House in the Highlands", "Little House in the Big Woods", "Little House on the Prairie", "Little House in Brookfield", "Farmer Boy",and "Little House by Boston Bay". Then when I moved to America, I started on the "Rose Years", beginning with "Little House on Rocky Ridge". That was the greatest Little House book I had ever read, and now I have it, to take with me to that country in Asia to show all my friends. I'd bet they'd like to read it too! And in honor of them, I will do two things-build a "Little House" fan club for my friends, and buy the Little House books for my friends! Especially "Little Farm in the Ozarks"!!!

Little House on Rocky Ridge:
In my opinion the book Little House on Rocky Ridge by Roger Lea MacBride is a great book.Based on the life of Rose Wilder and her family this book is as good as the ones abouther mother, Laura Ingalls Wilder. Rose and her parents are moving from South Dakota to find a better life. They had to move becausethe drought wouldn't let anithing grow. So in a covered wagon they headed to to Kansas in hope of a better life.On the way to Kansas Rose has fun looking at all the new things she hadn't seen before. During the trip Rose's mother shows her the money that will help buy the new farm, it's one hundred dollars.Rose promises that she won't tell anyone about it. But at the end of the trip when they are ready to buy the farm the money can not be found. The whole family gets very woried and dosn't know what to do.Rose and her family learn to be strong on hard times and go on with life.

Little House On Rocky Ridge:
If you like history books then this is a good book for you. The book that I read is Little House On Rocky Ridge. If you read all the other Laura Ingalls series then you'll know what I'm talking about.You see Laura Ingalls is older with a husband and a daughter who is curius, and her name is Rose. So the 3 of them and their friends moved to Wisconsin but there is a problem not a big one but a minor one. They had a 100 dollar bill from when Laura's working at the sewing place but they lost it. Will they ever find the 100 dollar bill? But there's more problems! Read the book and you will find out all the problems. This is a real good history book you will love so read this good history book!

A spunky girl named Rose Wilder:
Rose Wilder and her parents, the now-legendary Laura Ingals and Almanzo Wilder are going to Missouri. The journey is very harsh. The American west is almost literally burning up, and dust storms are a constant threat. Rose remains constant friends with her fellow travellers, Paul and George Cooley, and their parents. They are travelling together. The ROSE books have the same warmth and feel as the original Little House books and are an amazing period piece. These are more historical FICTION than the originals because there were fewer sources and weren't written by Rose herself. However, they are a true picture of pre-1900 and the dawn of that century. Some people may find a slightly less pleasing charater in Rose because she is more impatient, frustrated with being poor, and more romantic-minded than the simple, dear Laura. But many girls will associate with Rose, and this is a wonderful series.
