Nellie Oleson Meets Laura Ingalls

One day a new girl, Laura Ingalls, comes to school. Laura’s dress is too short, she doesn’t wear shoes, and she lives out on the lonely prairie. But everyone wants to be Laura’s friend. Nellie doesn’t understand: If she’s the prettiest and richest girl in Walnut Grove, shouldn’t she be the most popular?

Nellie will do anything to get Laura Ingalls out of her life, and one day her wish comes true. Something terrible does happen, but not just to Laura Ingalls—it happens to the entire town of Walnut Grove.

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s classic story On the Banks of Plum Creek introduced readers to Nellie Oleson. Now readers will see events unfold from Nellie’s perspective in Nellie Oleson Meets Laura Ingalls, an enchanting and eye-opening look at Laura Ingalls’s prairie foe.

See the world of Little House—and meet future author Laura Ingalls Wilder—in a whole new way! Remember Nellie Oleson? The rich spoiled brat who was Laura’s arch-nemesis? Well, now it’s time to hear her side of the story!
