Almanzo Wilder is going west! He and his family are moving all the way from their cozy farm in Malone, New York, to the bustling town of Spring Valley, Minnesota. Almanzo can't wait to explore, but life in Spring Valley isn't what he expected. The Wilders have to stay with relatives in a small, cramped house where Almanzo's aunt Martha is cold and unfriendly. Almanzo longs for the freedom he had back home, and he especially misses his horse, Starlight.

Or do they belong in New York?
