None of the other "Little House Years" books are as good as the ones about Laura but other then the Laura books the Martha ones are definitely my favorite. I love Scotland so that made this books particularly interesting to me but in general I just think they are the best written and most engaging titles from this set of books. (

Martha’s getting older, so Mum’s decided she needs a governess, but her new governess hates her and everything she does. After her mother realizes this, she gets rid of her and gets a new governess for her who Margaret loves. Margaret is happy with her new governess, but not entirely happy at the thought of losing her sister, Grisie, to one of her new suitors. (
