Laura is the main charecter of the story and is also named after the author. She has long brown hair that is normaly plaited.In the 5th and 6th she has to do most of the work because Ma has got baby Grace to look after and Mary is blind.

Mary is Lauras sister and turns blind in the 5th and 6th book.She is the ellegant calm knitting sort of person and enjoys helping out when ever Ma needs it.She also likes school and studying.

I like this book because it is very detailed and it inspires me to help out more and discover new things.
