Tired of being Hattie Here-and-There, she summons the courage to leave Iowa and move all by herself to Vida, Montana, to prove up on her late uncle's homestead claim. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Under the big sky, Hattie braves hard weather, hard times, a cantankerous cow, and her own hopeless hand at the cookstove. Her quest to make a home is championed by new neighbors Perilee Mueller, her German husband, and their children. For the first time in her life, Hattie feels part of a family, finding the strength to stand up against Traft Martin's schemes to buy her out and against increasing pressure to be a \"loyal\" American at a time when anything--or anyone--German is suspect. Despite daily trials, Hattie continues to work her uncle's claim until an unforeseen tragedy causes her to search her soul for the real meaning of home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis young pioneer's story is lovingly stitched together from Kirby Larson's own family history and the sights, sounds, and scents of homesteading life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAN AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BEST BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eSCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL\u003c\/i\u003e BEST BOOK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eBOOKLIST \u003c\/i\u003eEDITORS' CHOICE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNAMED TO 13 STATE AWARD LISTS\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA marvelous story about courage, loyalty, perseverance, and the meaning of home. --Newbery Award-Winning Author Karen Cushman\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Ember","offers":[{"title":"Hattie Big Sky | Kirby Larson | Paperback | 9780440239413 | Used: Very Good | Children's Books 1569556","offer_id":48163476144280,"sku":"1569556","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/8164VX02jOL.jpg?v=1771884205","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/hattie-big-sky","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
