Title: Hitty, Her First Hundred Years
Author: Rachel Field
Pages: 256
Genre: Historical Fiction, Newbery Award
Grade: B+
Synopsis: Hitty is a doll made out of the best mountain ash wood in Maine in the early 1800s. You wouldn't think a doll would have so many interesting experiences to tell about, but Hitty sure does. From being deserted on tropical islands, to the slums of India, to the steamboats of the Mississippi and back to Maine, Hitty describes all sorts of adventures.
My Review: I didn't really have high hopes for this book, but I've got to be honest that I was pleasantly surprised. The book was simply written, but fairly enjoyable.
