Customer Reviews

I love it!
What a sweet book. I really enjoyed it. Very nice to read about the highlands and their way of life back then. Very informative book. Great for kids and adults!

Also,it is great to read about Laura Ingalls Wilder's ancestors. Fascinating indeed. Melissa Wiley has an enchanting way of writing. You can see where Laura got her fiestiness, charm and energy.

I recommend this book for you and your children!

Fantastic!
This book is totally great. Martha Morse, the main character in this book has many memorable advantures, from a dirty dust-gown to a washing near the lake with Mollie and Nannie, two of the servants. The book is intersting and really fun to read. Martha longs to play on the hills of Scotland insted of doing her dreaded sewing lessons. The book is not only fun to read, but intersting, and it leaves you wondering what will happen next to this little lass and her family. (And her adventures.) Little House in the Highlands is wonderful. The book is very excellent to read, and I think that any one who reads Little House in the Highlands will agree with me one hundred percent.

Original edition going out of print soon
If you enjoy any of the Little House "prequels" get them quick in their original editions. HarperCollins will be rereleasing them in abridged editions only, cutting up to 100 pages in each novel, starting Summer 2007.
