Ilustration During Books Hattie Big Sky (Hattie #1)
Hattie's character was an all-around joy to meet. Though her story ended differently than I thought it would, and, wow, are there some sad happenings in the story, overall it felt realistic. I appreciated that the author included the real-life inspiration for the story, and I will definitely track down the sequel (probably after I'm finished with this young adult class - the "genre" is wearing on me as a whole - give me a grown-up book, haha!). If I have any gripe it's that there were a few times that I wished Hattie would speak up for herself. However, being that she's a young girl in the early 1900s, the way she handled things is probably more realistic - it's just my modern-day woman point of view sneaking in there. The descriptions of Montana are beautiful, and Hattie's personality truly shines. The secondary characters are varied and wonderful as well. Lest tears come to my eyes, we will avoid talking about the children of the novel, because my heart just can't take it. Young adult Beth would have loved this, and more than likely, would have read this multiple times. And I know this is silly, but I hope she ends up with Charlie in book two. But good on her for paving her way without a man! :)Specify Books Toward Hattie Big Sky (Hattie #1)

I grew up just a few miles from where this book takes place so it had a special appeal to me. That aside, I still would have loved it. Its reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie. Add this to the pile that I cant wait to read to my girls. There was content of deep sadness and some discrimination.I was just a few pages into the book when I read a line that made me smile. Left me without a doubt that this was a special this book, and Ms. Larson's writing was special, too. After a very rough start under the big sky of Vida, Montana, Hattie Inez Brooks sat down to the first meal in her new home. A meal provided by her new neighbor, Perilee Mueller. "The stew tasted of sage and carrots and hope." That line made me pause; made me think. If only we could all grab hope from the simple pleasures
I don't remember who recommended this one to me, but thank you! I loved this story of Hattie Brooks, an orphan who has never had a real home of her own. She finds out that her uncle, whom she has never met, has left her his homestead in Montana in his will. If she can meet the requirements, the land is hers.The trouble is that she has only 10 months to do it, and most of it by herself. The requirements are pretty tough, but Hattie figures with a good year, she just might have a place to call

I was disappointed in this book - a Newberry Honor book because of all of the errors it contained. I am surprised that those who award the Newberry prize didn't find and correct these errors. While the story is good,(not in my opinion Newberry good) the writing is not good. Hattie's uncle's last name is Wright, not Brooks, yet twice in the story she calls him Brooks - even having his trunk engraved with CB. He was her mother's brother, so he wouldn't have the same name.
