(4) 4-6 Willard imagines an episode not included in the Little House series: Mary's first months at the Iowa College for the Blind. Mary initially dislikes Mattie, a bitter, seemingly mean classmate. Mary changes her mind, though, when she learns the source of Mattie's unhappiness. The writing, appropriately homey, sometimes resorts to heavy-handed preaching about self-reliance and acceptance.
