Finished Hattie Big Sky this weekend. Was listening to it in the car, and then started Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I enjoyed listening to American Gods so hope this one is just as good. I started reading a young adult novel Hattie Big Sky this weekend because I finished reading Zorro by Isabel Allende. I also finished reading Blue Highways yesterday and I have to say that I loved this book. Even though it was first published back in 1982, for a book that I purchased twice I ... Montana

Hattie Big Sky I loved Hattie Big Sky. It's a teen book about a girl who is an orphan, but finds out that a relative has left her a homestead in Montana which will be hers to keep if she can meet the requirements. It's set during WWI and that plays an important part in the story. I really enjoyed it. 26. Montana - Hattie Big Sky fiction

Review for Hattie Big Sky
I don't remember who recommended this one to me, but thank you! I loved this story of Hattie Brooks, an orphan who has never had a real home of her own. She finds out that her uncle, whom she has never met, has left her his homestead in Montana in his will. If ... Young Adult

This year's Newbery honor books were all good; I'd particularly recommend Hattie Big Sky (another historical fiction) by Kirby Lawson and Rules (which has a more modern setting) by Cynthia Lord.

Rules of Survival was a great read, too, as blbooks mentioned. ...
I also forgot to mention that I read Black Mirror by Nancy Werlin, Home and Other Big Fat Lies by Jill Wolfson, Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson, Penny From Heaven by Jennifer L. Holm, and The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron. I read Penny from Heaven, Hattie Big Sky and Keturah and Lord Death very quickly, and enjoyed them all. I'm finishing off January with An Abundance of Katherines. Phew! Busy month! ... I was slightly confused by Larklight by Philip Reeve. I absolutely loved Penny from Heaven by Jennifer Holm and Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson. What great historical fiction came out last year! I also loved (or should I say LOVED) Gossamer by Lois Lowry. I'm on the fence ... My wish list:
