Description
It's the early 1900's, and the Boyers have just moved to the Florida backwoods. It's not easy to get their new life of the ground. They have a notion to grow strawberries and sweet potatoes and oranges to sell. The neighbors scoff at their ideas, saying that they can't grow anything in Florida. Birdie Boyer, just ten-years-old, is convinced that they can, if only they could keep everyone else's animals away from their crops! However, this isn't their only problem. The weather is unpredictable with unbearable heat, droughts and cold snaps that threaten their crops. The most worrisome problem is the neighbors next door, the Slaters, who seem to be waiting for any reason to start a feud. The Boyers hold their ground while trying to have a positive impact on the Slaters.
Publisher's Description of Strawberry Girl
Rediscover this Newbery Medal–winning classic, a favorite of generations.
Strawberries—big, ripe, and juicy. Ten-year-old Birdie Boyer can hardly wait to start picking them. But her family has just moved to the Florida backwoods, and they haven't even begun their planting. "Don't count your biddies 'fore they're hatched, gal young un!" her father tells her.
Making the new farm prosper is not easy. There is heat to suffer through, and droughts, and cold snaps. And, perhaps most worrisome of all for the Boyers, there are rowdy neighbors, just itching to start a feud. The land was theirs, but so were its hardships.
