Hattie Big Sky (Hattie Series)

Hattie Big Sky (Hattie Series)

This Newbery Honor winning,Â New York Times bestseller celebrates the true spirit of independence on the American frontier.

For most of her life, sixteen-year-old Hattie Brooks has been shuttled from one distant relative to another. Tired of being Hattie Here-and-There, she summons the courage to leave Iowa and move all by herself to Vida, Montana, to prove up on her late uncleâ‚¬s homestead claim.
Â
Under the big sky, Hattie braves hard weather, hard times, a cantankerous cow, and her own hopeless hand at the cookstove. Her quest to make a home is championed by new neighbors Perilee Mueller, her German husband, and their children. For the first time in her life, Hattie feels part of a family, finding the strength to stand up against Traft Martinâ‚¬s schemes to buy her out and against increasing pressure to be a â‚¬Å“loyalâ‚¬Â American at a time when anythingâ‚¬"or anyoneâ‚¬"German is suspect. Despite daily trials, Hattie continues to work her uncleâ‚¬s claim until an unforeseen tragedy causes her to search her soul for the real meaning of home.
Â
This young pioneer's story is lovingly stitched together from Kirby Larsonâ‚¬s own family history and the sights, sounds, and scents of homesteading life.Â
