Chronicle Conducive To 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! :)Rating Appertaining To Books Hattie Big Sky (Hattie #1)

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
Looking forward to reading the sequel!
I'm not sure how to review this book. I enjoyed parts of it, got mad and ranted over other parts, cried at some, smiled at others, and cringed at some things.What I liked:I liked Hattie. She was trying to find who she was and where she belonged. I liked her friends in Montana, except for one person's misuse of the Lord's name. The descriptions, the setting, the time period all made me eager to read the book. There was some talk about prayer, attending church, and "God moves in mysterious ways,"
My only regret? Why didn't I read this sooner? I can't wait to share Hattie with kids.
4.5 đŸŒŸHattie Brooks is an orphan, living with her uncle and annoying aunt when she received a letter saying that her maternal uncle leaved his inheritance which includes a house and some 300 acres land in Montana to her. She decided to go so she packed up and got on the train. Here is where her adventure begun. I really, really like Hattie. She got some wit and very funny. I learned this a few pages in and instantly like her. She's just 16 years old but the way she thinks is so matured for her
