I, Catherine Cabot Hall, aged 13 years, 6 months, 29 days ... do begin this book.
So begins the journal of a girl coming of age in nineteenth-century New Hampshire. Catherine records both the hardships of pioneer life and its many triumphs. Even as she struggles with her mother's death and father's eventual remarriage, Catherine's indomitable spirit
makes this saga an oftentimes uplifting and joyous one.
Quiet yet powerful, this Newbery Medal–winning book is sure to touch all who read it.

        The accumulation of events in a thirteen-year-old's journal shapes the world of New England, 1830, in this Newbery award-winning novel for young adults. A runaway slave tests Puritan notions of justice and mercy as the joys and sorrows of life and death vie for ascendance. Reading with energy and sincerity, Madeleine Potter captures the simplicity of the journal as an art form. The charming poetry of these characters' lives emerges clearly in her realistic cadence and earnest, confessional tone. Distinct characterizations of other speakers exist through the voice of Catherine, the young writer of the journal, saving the reader from a one-dimensional experience. C.F.G.
