While Laura Ingalls grows up in a little house on the western prairie, Almanzo Wilder is living on a big farm in New York State. Almanzo and his brother and sisters help with the summer planting and fall harvest. In winter there is wood to be chopped and great slabs of ice to be cut from the river and stored. Almanzo wishes for just one thing-his very own horse-but he must prove that he is ready for such a big responsibility.

Shipwrecked and lost, Arthur and Cassius are on the hunt for a lost treasure on Cabal Island. They must work together if they hope to find it and return home. But when greed takes control of one friend's heart and puts him in danger, the other must decide what is most important. Join these two treasure hunters as they learn about the dangers of greed, and then complete the Brave Challenge at the back of the book with your family.
