Book Reviews of Hattie Big Sky

Book Review: "Hattie Big Sky" Revolutionizes my Opinion of Historical Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm not the biggest fan of historical fiction. I mean, I'm a kid who loves to read fantasy and romance novels. So when I picked up "Hattie Big Sky", I was so-so about the idea - my school librarian recommended the book for me. I picked it up, read a first chapter, and sat it down. It was pretty good, not astounding.

As the novel progressed, I was soon easily addicted to the life of Hattie Inez Brooks, a sixteen year-old orphan who moves to a small town in Montana, after her uncle Chester dies. There, she meets nice neighbors who are helpful and friendly but also people who can't stand German people (Karl, who is the husband of Hattie's neighbor, Perilee, both of them welcoming) namely Mrs. Martin, an obnoxious woman who doesn't want Perilee in the church chorus. Hattie is slaving over the hard work that she needs to complete in order to keep her home. This doesn't come with doing just a few household chores, but putting in fencing that takes some time and the regular chores on top of that. (Monday: Wash Day. Tuesday: Ironing. Wednesday: Mending. Thursday: Market. Friday: Cleaning. Saturday: Baking. Sunday: Day of Rest.)

I absolutely enjoyed this book and I can certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a light but interesting read. Absolutely without a doubt one of my favorite historical fiction novels.
