Why read it?
1 author picked Hattie Big Sky as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not only is Hattie Big Sky a Newbery Award Honor Book, it’s a beautifully written story based on the author’s own history and ancestors.
At the ripe ol’ age of sixteen, the main character, Hattie Brooks, moves to Montana to work the homestead of her great uncle. Alone, I might add. I felt Hattie’s fear, tragedy, determination, and triumph throughout the story.
From Mary's list on The best books that inspire us in the real world and also beyond our imaginations.
