Description As 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! :)

I enjoyed reading Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson and I am glad that I did. The conflict that Hattie faces to prove up her homestead is believable. The troubles she encounters and the obstacles she has to find a way to overcome find their way to make the novel out to be very convincing. The setting enabled the book to be all the more intriguing, but was not overdone with all the unnecessary usual boring details. The sky is described often, and at first the title troubled me until I learned that

Teenagers are perfect protagonists for historical novels. Two historical novels for adults that really impressed me recently, 'The Children's Book' and 'Wolf Hall,' feature adolescents as central characters. The rite of passage from child to adult is universal. And as Hattie shows in Kirby Larson's touching story, young adults' ability to bridge the divide between world of the kids and the world of the grown-ups allows the reader to enter both. The time is 1918, just after America's entry into

My only regret? Why didn't I read this sooner? I can't wait to share Hattie with kids.

A well-researched look into claimstaking land. This is based on the author's grandmother's experience as a teenager, staking her own claim and farming the land by herself, and I can't even begin to say how impressed I am by all this. Also, I always thought of settling the west as being a pre-1900's thing, and this takes place at the end of the First World War. Fascinating read, with great characters.

5 Stars!I don't really get into history stories, but this book was amazing. I have learned some things that I did not already kew before. It a great story about the time during wars that happened in America and what the people went trew. The writing is so good that I could really imaged everything. It was really interesting how and where the people had to move. I am so glad that I picked up this book. I am excited to get into the next book in the series.

I loved the strong, courageous, and vulnerable protagonist, as well as the realistic, complex resolution.
