Hattie Big Sky

Hattie Big Sky is a book written by Kirby Larson. In 2007 the book was named a Newbery Honor book [1] and an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults.[2] Hattie Big Sky was also an Illinois Rebecca Caudill nominee.

Hattie Brooks, a sixteen-year-old who has tired of being among relatives she hardly knows, receives a letter from her uncle, who has died. He leaves her all of his land, and Hattie travels to his farm in Montana to start life as a homesteader. In the book we learn about Hattie through her letters to her friend Charlie who is at war, and to her Uncle Holt.
