By the Shores of Silver Lake by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Goodreads Blurb: The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they move from their little house on the banks of Plum Creek to the wilderness of the unsettled Dakota Territory. Here Pa works on the new railroad until he finds a homestead claim that is perfect for their new little house. Laura takes her first train ride as she, her sisters, and their mother come out to live with Pa on the shores of Silver Lake. After a lonely winter in the surveyors’ house, Pa puts up the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the beautiful shores of Silver Lake. The Ingallses’ covered-wagon travels are finally over.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: I don’t know what was more harrowing the scene at the beginning or the scene at the end – either way these are starting to not feel like kids books anymore.
