Haas, Jessie._Unbroken_,1999 [0-688-16260-6] The story opens at the turn of the century with Harriet (called Harry) being pulled from school saying her mother was in an accident. She eventually dies leaving Harry alone with her young colt to be sent to a harsh aunt who lives up the hill on a farm. Harry hates it there and her aunt. She misses her friends and school. Eventually she begins to understand her aunt. When her mother's estate is settled, Harry will have enough money to continue at her school but will need her horse to get there. While training her horse, Harry is injured and the aunt has to take her to town to the doctor. The aunt shows her love by making arrangements for Harry to stay in town during the coming school year. This 185 page book is a touching story of a girl learning to deal with the death of her mother and the realities of living with a harsh aunt. It is a story of understanding, love, and personal growth. *** Frederick Muller fmuller@tellurian.net Halsted Middle School (973) 383-7440 ext.228 59 Halsted Street FAX (973) 383-7432 Newton, NJ 07860 ------- My book reviews are compiled at: http://www.halsted.org/br.htm =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
