Review
"A page-turning, delightful debut with equal parts historical adventure and romance." - Ruta Sepetys, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Salt to the Sea A 2019 Amelia Bloomer Project List Selected Title"Harriet Submit Winter has no intention of living up to her name and marrying her boring neighbor Daniel Long to meet expectations of gender norms set up in pioneer times. Instead, she disguises herself as Freddy, a boy, and leaves the family farm in New Hampshire with her brother Gideon to forge a new life in the wilderness of western New York. Ostrom effectively contextualizes the discussion of societal limitations imposed upon women within the story's well-drawn historical setting."--Publishers Weekly"Reminiscent of the works by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this charming novel is an enjoyable reflection on women’s roles, romance, and the power of choice."--School Library Journal"Ostrom presents a rich, believable novel with a classic feel. ...This is a great recommendation for fans of gutsy female characters like Jo March and Jane Eyre.―VOYA"The warm romance and witty banter between the well-wrought characters should please plenty of teen readers ...." ― Booklist

I was very happy that I decided to give this book a try! This is about a girl who wants to be herself, and do something to end the helpless feeling about not having any control over her own life. The synopsis was intriguing, but the story itself is even more adventurous, and I realized that I did not want to put it down!Here’s why the book was amazing:- The character development. For me, being able to appreciate the main characters and actually want to learn more about them, can top almost any other aspect. Harriet is an incredible character who experiences some profound moments that shape her into a much smarter and more considerate person. I thought that the author did a beautiful job of laying out this transition. The other characters were also very compelling, and made for some interesting revelations. A few of the side-characters also grew as their experiences progressed, and not everyone turned out for the better. I was very appreciative of these developments, as it made me feel like I knew them a little more.- The familiar yet unique plot. So I recognized a few familiar storylines embedded within this one. The most notable would be undertones of Pride and Prejudice, and essentially any book or movie about a girl disguising herself as a boy in order to feel the associated freedoms with that gender. When it comes to the former, I can pinpoint numerous references to the scenes in the classic Jane Austen novel, and even establish a significant amount of comparisons between the personalities of the side-characters. This makes the book sound a bit like a crummy retelling, or a poorly executed copycat. Rest assured, it is neither of those things! Somehow, despite the similarities to other stories, this one remains truely unique and captivating with its own twists and dynamics!- The quippy humor. Most of this book was inspirational, adventurous and romantic. On top of that, I love how intelligent the main character is, because I got to enjoy some of her quick-thinking insults and banter!- the plot/storyline. This book starts off a bit slow when it comes to adventure. The first part of the story follows the main character’s day-to-day mundane responsibilities, which might seem dull, but I actually found this part incredibly enjoyable! We get a pretty decent look into her relationships with her family and friends, and this introductory base of information makes these relationships seem even sweeter as we see how they grow.If there’s one flaw to this story, I’d say it’s one tiny aspect of the ending. I promise it’s not technically a cliffhanger, but I do wish we had been given a bit more information. All plot components were accounted for and tied up, but I just felt like I could have used an epilogue for that satisfied solid ending feel. I get that not all books need to have that, so I’m probably just being selfish. Either way, I think this is a 5-Star book!Some other points to mention: there’s very mild if any language, nothing graphic in terms of relationships and yes a cute dog makes a few appearances!I highly recommend this book! It might be long, but it’s a light toned and enjoyable read.
I love this book! It's a gripping story with a strong and lovable female protagonist who's disguised as a boy for most of the book. This twist alone creates a slew of interesting (and sometimes hilarious) situations and exposes gender inequalities and attitudes, many of which still plague us today. A modern reader can definitely relate to the reasons she chose to swap her dress for pantaloons.The main character Harriet aka Harry aka Freddy takes center stage in the action, and she's surrounded by a cast of wonderful (and in some cases quirky) characters. I felt like I knew all of the characters so well by the end of the book, feeling heartbroken and worried for one person, rolling my eyes at the ridiculous antics of another.The setting is definitely a character in the book as well.The descriptions of the natural world are so skillfully written that I felt like I was living in the book and experiencing the wild beauty of the forest, fields and pastures along with Freddy and the rest of the bunch.This book would make a wonderful gift for young (and adult) readers of all genders!
I bought this book because it was written about traveling to The Genesee Valley in the early 1800's. I love history and was hoping to learn new things about this area of New York state. While the book is nicely written, I didn't learn anything new historically. Also, the main character, Harriet, while well developed - seemed to have more characteristics of a 21st century young woman than she did someone born at that time. For example, the character calls a man a misogynist. Although this word has been in the English language for some time, I find it hard to believe that a young girl at that time would have used that word to describe a man. Young people reading this book may have an understanding of this word - However, I don't believe this usage is an accurate depiction of the time period and the story's setting. While nicely written, and I really wanted to love the book, I don't see this book surviving the test of time.
Sixteen-year-old Harriet Winter is happy overall with her life in nineteenth-century New Hampshire: the "beauty of the seasons, the comfort of its rituals, the way the land fed and fostered us..." However, as a woman, Harriet knows her future is not her own; it will be dictated by societal expectations, including marriage to Daniel Long (aka D.U.L), a kind but unexciting landowner. Anxious to shrug off these societal restraints, Harriet leaves with her step-brother/best friend, Gideon, to explore the "wild" terrain of Western New York. In the process, she assumes a new identity and, finally, comes into her own. A gorgeously written historical novel, with evocative images and clever use of colonial-American language . Highly and enthusiastically recommended!
This historical YA novel is a wonderful read. Part adventure, part romance, and most definitely a whole lot of what it means to try to forge a life of your choosing. Harriet, aka Harry/Freddy is a delight. She's sassy, hard working, smart, and funny. Whether it's 1808 or 2018, she wants what all women want--to make their own decisions in life. What she learns along the way as she sets out with her brother to frontier country is at once heart breaking and life affirming. The historical details the author weaves are authentic and help set the tone for what life was like in 1808 for both men and women. I really enjoyed this book!
