These Happy Golden Years: A Newbery Honor Award Winner (Little House, 8)
The eighth book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s treasured Little House series. This edition features the classic black-and-white artwork from Garth Williams.
Laura is teaching school, and it's terrifying! Most of the students are taller than she is, and she must sleep away from home for the first time. Laura is miserable, but the money is needed to keep Mary in a college for the blind.
And every Friday—no matter what the weather—Almanzo Wilder arrives to take Laura home to her family for the weekend. Laura and Almanzo are courting, and even though she's not yet sixteen, she knows that this is a time for new beginnings.
The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family.

Then Pa spends all her teaching money, IN ADVANCE, on a musical organ. Yuck.
Then page after unromantic page about boring Almanzo Wilder and his dangerous unbroken horse.
The ending is particularly bad, and I almost imagine her at the end, sitting outside her cabin, realization dawning in her eyes that she's made a terrible mistake.
