The Wilder Ones


Smatchet Storybooks continues to bring the finest in children's literature to our valued customers. These Gouger exclusives are sure to become enduring classics. Our newest offering is a recently discovered addition to an already beloved series. Recently unearthed among the papers of a famous and disreputable literary agent, Gouger is pleased to be the first to offer the newest adventures in the saga of the Ingalls family.

Big House on the Prairie : Pa Pinched Poaching chronicles the "lost year" of this frontier family. Charles Ingalls, having failed as a farmer in at least three states, is forced to hunt on private land to feed his growing family of females. Tragedy strikes when he is arrested and sent to the penitentiary. Children will be engrossed by the adventures of Laura and her family as they struggle survive without Pa. While pious Mary is inclined to leave Pa to rot for his sins, Ma and the rest of the girls rise to the occasion in true pioneer spirit. They sew him a patchwork ladder, bake him a hacksaw, and knit him a pistol. After Pa makes good his escape, the family moves to Dakota to try farming themselves to death again. Spoiler : That Nellie Oleson finally gets the ass-kicking she so richly deserves. Heartwarming.

Be sure to pick up multiple copies of this updated classic American children's story. Order now.
