Kristiana Wulan kriztianawe8c8 — SPOILER ALERT Summary: Hattie Inez Brooks has been passed around from relative to relative all her life until her Uncle Chester leaves her a claim to stake in Montana. She eagerly leaves her kindly Uncle Holt and prickly Aunt Ivy's home in Iowa to make it on her own. Once Hattie arrives in Vida, Montana, she realizes that she already has some debt she owes from her Uncle Chester. She works very hard all through the severe winter, with the help of her friend Perilee Mueller and her family. Spring comes and Hattie finishes the long fence she had to put up, and she learns about the anti-German feelings that people have when Perilee's kind and generous husband, Karl, is targeted. Through the seasons, Hattie must work very hard to prove up on her claim before November while also gaining a true sense of belonging with the people she loves near Vida. She learns generosity and the meaning of loyalty with Perilee's family, and she writes of her adventures to her school friend, Charlie, who is fighting the Kaiser in France, her Uncle Holt, and in a column called Honyocker's Homily for the paper back in Iowa. In the end, Perilee loses one of her children and decides to leave Montana, the war ends and Charlie comes home, admitting that he likes Hattie, while Hattie loses her claim due to debt. Although this ending may be bittersweet, Hattie does at last find a home in herself, and she learns to love the people around her. Evaluation: I think this book lacked somewhat of a resolution and kind of tied up quickly. I liked the character development of Hattie very much but I was sad to see her lose the claim that she had worked so hard for. And whereas I thought she might at least end up with Charlie, that was left very open and uncertain. The book did bring a sense of real life to the time that it was describing, which I thought was interesting, especially after reading the author's note about this story being based on her great-grandmother's life. I thought it was a good book, but maybe not one of my favorites. I seem to prefer happy endings more when I am reading for pleasure, and I was really sad when Mattie died. I do think I would use this book in maybe a 4th or 5th grade classroom.
