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.
Hattie Big sky was a GREAT book that we read at school. It taught us many useful things. Perilee was probably the plot of the story. I love this book even when i cried!
I had to read this book for school so I was forced to read it! I am very disapointed that I had to read it. I don't think that anyone should read this book!
i love this book i am only 14 and love it i think it is a good educational type thing if you love the older setting theme type books you will love this book!
It was a really good book my teacher let me read it and i am 13 and it didnt affect me any its not like your kids have never seen a cigarret before the book doesn't describe it to the t it just says thing like a man sitting there chewing tabacco it's not a bad book because its real not like all the other books where they try to sugar coat it your kids need a bit of reality so let them read the book and lay off
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.
