Strawberry Girl

De: Lois Lenski

Narrado por: Natalie Ross

Newbery Medal Winner, 1946

The land was theirs, but so were its hardships.

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 restoration & friendship of the families.

We loved it and made all sorts of strawberry treats while reading! We listened and laughed while cleaning and doing chores, just like the children in the story.

I want more of these books, a all time best

One of my favorites childhood memories, a great story, and so enjoyable to listen to!

Excellent read aloud and narrator

My 7 year old and I enjoyed this very much! The narrator is excellent besides the story line.

Love Love Love!!!

My whole family loved listening to this book. The story was wonderful and the narrator Natalie Ross made it come alive. Lois Lenski has a wonderful way of quickly making you feel and see the story. It was hands down one of our top favorites.

We read this book on a road trip

We just finished this book on a road trip. It made the hours fly by.

Excellent Narration -

The narrator does justice to this remarkable book. Lenski's works take you to another time and place and show you the world from an innocent child's point of view. I am so glad new generations will be able to hear this 1946 Newbery Award winning book on audible.

great story... volume difficult to control

love the story and the history. makes me want to find her other books. the story teller was great in voices and inflection. only complaint is the yelling in the book or raised voices would hurt the ears but if you turned it down you couldn't hear the book.

strawberry girl

great story and amazing narration! I recommend this book for every age of reader. worth your time!

the narration was excellent

This is a nice book. I enjoy reading the Newberry winners. The narration was so well done. All the tension between the two families was interesting, but of course the women had to take matters into their own hands and fix it. I thought the ending was a bit too tidy. But maybe that's really how it happened seeing as this is based on real people. in that case it would be a happy ending!

Poor reading, great story

I love the story of "Strawberry Girl", but I feel like the person who read it used to much emphasis on the country accent. Sometimes I found it hard to understand. The story, though, is AMAZING.
