Book Reviews of Hattie Big Sky
Book Review: Motivated to learn more.
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up in Montana I decided to read this book based both on the title and it's award status. I thoroughly enjoyed this book especially learning about homesteaders during World War I. I tended to think of homesteaders in the 1800's not the early 1900's. It's such an interesting time when your neighbor might have a horse or a car for transportation. This book has a nice sense of community and hope during challenging times.
Summary of Hattie Big Sky
Alone in the world, teen-aged Hattie is driven to prove up on her uncle's homesteading claim.For years, sixteen-year-old Hattie's been shuttled between relatives. Tired of being Hattie Here-and-There, she courageously leaves Iowa to prove up on her late uncle's homestead claim near Vida, Montana. With a stubborn stick-to-itiveness, Hattie faces frost, drought and blizzards. Despite many hardships, Hattie forges ahead, sharing her adventures with her friends--especially Charlie, fighting in France--through letters and articles for her hometown paper.
Her backbreaking quest for a home is lightened by her neighbors, the Muellers. But she feels threatened by pressure to be a "Loyal" American, forbidding friendships with folks of German descent. Despite everything, Hattie's determined to stay until a tragedy causes her to discover the true meaning of home.
