(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Jim LaMarche. Rylant draws on Wilder's scant notes about events between On the Banks of Plum Creek and By the Shores of Silver Lake. During Laura's ninth year, the family lives in six different houses, Freddie is born and dies, and baby Grace arrives. Despite the fact that Wilder herself chose to overlook this period, Rylant captures the essence of Laura's personality, and the episodic chapters reflect the structure and style of the original works.
