Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson

I really liked this book. It was different. We got it from some family friends that know the author or something like that.

This is a book about Hattie. Hattie no longer has any parents and has lived her entire life moving around from one distant relative to another when they decide they no longer want her. One day she receives a letter in the mail from her Uncle who she has never met before and has recently past. He has left his plot of land under her name and if she chooses, she may go and try to own up to his claim in the time left on the claim. She decides to go. Life in Montana is different and challenging but hey, it's Hattie's life and she gets to live it however she so chooses.

I really liked this story which is about a real girl named Hattie. The entire time I read this book I thought Hattie was pronounced Hay-tee not Hat-tee and I mentioned it to my sister and she laughed at me.. Anyways it's a good book. People who like really rich plots might not be as interested because it's good and it has a good plot but it's also about a real girl so it goes at real life pace rather than super fast like book drama always goes.  I would probably recommend this book to someone who likes historical books and realistic books.

I would rate this book an 8.5/10 because it was really good but like I've already mentioned, it was at real life pace with is kind of slow and it's about real life things so there weren't like 10 million different sub-plots. Although I did cry the last 3 or so chapters, just heads up...
