Strawberry Girl Audiobook

" This book was a little frustrating. It reminded me of some of the stories I've heard about the farm my grandmother grew up at. "

" I love this book and how the family stood together through the hardships "

" It was ok. I think it would be better as a movie. There was a lot of action, a good story-line, and decent character development. I did like how the heroine solved problems and never truly gave up on those around her. This would be a great read-aloud for much younger kids (5-8 years). "

" I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It was interesting to learn about how Florida was settled and became farmland and I also thought the author did a good job of developing the characters. The author wrote a series of books depicting life in various regions of the US and I'd be interested in reading those. "

" Some more mature themes, though they have been toned down. Try reading this one without a thick southern accent! "

" This is the book my kids and I are reading together. "

" I really love this little book! "

" As a children's book, I think the language would be hard for a child to follow, but it is a good story and I was surprised by the ending. "

" Fun story to read. :) "

" The story was good enough, but the dialogue was horrible to get through. "

" A nice little read. Lois put a lot of work into researching this set of books about children in various parts of the USA. All fiction, but based on real-life experiences. "

" A great story from my childhood, Strawberry Girl follows the adventures of a young Cracker girl in Florida in the early 1900's. It's a colorful portrait of life during this era in American History & does a wonderful job portraying a wide array of characters with rich backgrounds! "

" Strawberry Girl reminded me a lot of the Little House books or Caddie Woodlawn. I enjoyed it, although the end was so extremely unlikely that it threw off the story a little bit. "

" I read this kind of by accident! I had first read it back in elementary school and picked it up today to just browse through and reminisce. I wound up reading the whole thing in an afternoon and loving it. It's an ageless story. "

" I read this when I was little and liked it. A strong protaganist keeps the family farm running amidst a bit of social distress. "

" This is one of the books that my dad read to me in order to get me to go to sleep at night. I really don't remember that much but I do remember the little 5 year old in me absolutely loving it so I don't want to ruin the memory I hold close to my heart. "

" I can't decide if I liked it so much because of the drawings by Lois Lenski or if it was a great story. It was geared toward a younger audience than some of the other Newbery winners, which was nice. Slightly reminiscent of the Little House books. "

" Charming little book. Would love to use as a read-aloud. Even includes a redemption story. "

" I have always loved this book as well as all other Lenski books. This time I listened to the audio version and thoroughly enjoyed it! "

" Had a blast reading this to my kids when we were studying about Florida....trying to find another one of her books now.... "

" This will always be one of my favorite books by Lois Lenski. "

" I found this book when I was helping my nephew find books for his reading contest. What a sweet, optimistic ending to a story that really lets grown ups be selfish and proud and embittered--just like children. "

" This was a very interesting book, and not at all what I was expecting. It deals a lot with the culture/history of Florida around the turn of the century. I never realized where the term "Cracker" came from, nor that originally it was not a derogatory term. "

" I remember reading this book when I was probably in the fifth grade. As I was recently browsing our library's Newbery Medal winner section, I found this and thought it would be fun to read again. "

" My very first chapter book :) I stated early at 7 "
