Book 2 ends on a cliffhanger like Book 1, so it’s up to you.

Hmm…should I wait until book 3 is out before reading book 2?

This is the one that starts off by killing a scientist and his entire team of sled dogs. That should have been my first clue.

And in answer to your Wisconsin question, the blizzard is apart of the Little House series, but in a book called “The Long Winter” and it takes place in South Dakota.

I was a huge fan of the books as a little girl.
