Great Historical Read!
I loved this cross between "Little House On The Prairie" and "Pride and Prejudice." It starts out a little slow, but once I started to read it, I was HOOKED! I read this around the time I was ten, and it's not inappropriate, but the situations surrounding World War One can be a little hard to understand for a kid under the age of ten.

I could not put this book down!
This book was refreshingly exciting to me. There were moments of adventure, heartache, and great relationships portrayed. The main character is a girl you could look up to. She is strong and determined. Loyal to her friends.
There is no profane language, or sexual content in this book. There is a scene of childbirth that may be uncomfortable for younger children to read. There are a few characters who smoke cigarettes or a pipe.
There is a death of a child, which may be very sad for children. I cried!
My only complaint it that is was too short! :o)
A great book!

A really good book about life and racism
This book was really good. It was about a teenage girl who has never felt she belonged anywhere trying to find a place to belong and call her home. Through this experience she learns about the hard work and self dedication it takes to do something for yourself and prove to other people that you are worthy of trust and kindness. All of her experiences on the prairie teach her the valuably lesson that just because someone wasn't born where you were doesn't mean they aren't kind and should be treated unfairly.

I good book with a good message
I loved this book. I'm not really a history fan, but I did like the fact that this book gave the reader different perspective on life during war.Even on 320 acres of Montana land people were affected by the happenings over seas. As for the whole message of the story, I thought it showed the true meaning of loyalty, family and friends. I liked it alot!

Great!
I'm 15, and I absolutely loved this book. I got it as a gift a year or so ago and I just got around to reading it. It provides insight on isolation, freedom, injustice, leadership, compromise, faith, and loyalty. The story tells the life of a girl, Hattie, who learns to live on her own and find the true meaning in relationships with family and friends and the importance of learning to grow with each new experience. By the end of her story, she has learned a lot about her self and about the world around her. I think it is a great book and Kirby Larson deserves praise for including so many aspects of life and meaning in a tale about opinions and growth.
