This is a dazzling book. Lauras sister Mary, goes to college, she misses Mary. She goes to a school and her teacher, mrs Wilder was very nice and the boys tried to see how much mischief they could make until she would tell them to stop. She was one of the oldest kids at the school, along with her friends Ida, Minnie, Mary power, and Nellie Oleson. (Read on the banks of plum creek.) They all also caused a lot of trouble in class. One day, Nellie told them a deep secret. Mrs Wilders real name was Eliza Jane, and the kids at school made fun of her by singing this verse: Lazy lousy lizy Jane! All because Mrs Wilder was cruel to Carrie, Laura’s younger sister, at the age of seven. She told her to rock the chair and she tried all her might and was extremely tired. Laura hated to see such cruelty to her sister and Helped Carrie rock the chair. They got expelled. My favorite part is the part when Laura gets a beautiful name card and with her full name. I learned that audiotape don’t know everything.
