When they first come to Plum Creek they lived in a dugout, then Pa borrowed money to build a real house. Laura and Mary sleep in the attic bedroom. One day Mary and Laura go to school. A girl named Nellie teases them. Laura wants to get Nellie back, but how? To find out read "On the Banks of Plum Creek."
I like this book because it is funny and exciting. I found Laura interesting because she was always liked going west with her family. This book is in a good series. You should read them all.
I recommend this book to 4th and 5th graders. I also recommend this book to kids who are interested in Laura Ingalls Wilder.
