Ruthie's Gift
Set in the early 1900s, Ruthie's Gift tells the story of Ruth Hawk. Ruth, called Ruthie, is a 9 year old girl in third grade. She is the only girl and the middle of seven children living on a farm. She does not come from a rich family. In this troubling year at school Ruthie encounters a new sibling, new friends, games, trails, and war all while trying to learn to be a lady. In this semi-biographical account, Ruthie's Gift gives a unique perspective on a young girl in this time.
Rating 5 out of 5 stars. This is a great book for 3-4 graders. It has a lot of detail and goes through an exciting year of events in Ruthie's life. As a girl, it really makes me sympathize with Ruthie even though I did not have her same struggles.
