A delightful story that chronicles the struggles and achievements of a Floridian pioneer family. The story, historical foundation, dialogue, characters, and illustrations combine to create a timeless tale everyone will enjoy. The Boyer family relocates to the backwoods of Florida and plans to begin farming strawberries. Their new neighbors resent the Boyers and conspire to stir up trouble. Soon a feud erupts between the two families. The simple compassion of one woman ultimately saves both families from the looming hatred and destruction. Lenski paints a picture of Florida backwoods life with tales of frontier schools, social gatherings, and neighborly kindness.

Synopsis
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. Teachers, grandparents, and homeschooling families continue to reach for Lois Lenski's Strawberry Girl . As one fan commented, a reason for its continued success is that it's "a touching, realistic tale of the power of neighborly love and kindness.", Rediscover this Newbery Medal-winning classic, a favorite of generations.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.

    Strawberry Girl by Lois Lenski

    There are many Lois Lenski books I've enjoyed reading as a kid in the 1950s, later to my children, and now to my grandchildren... but this may be my favorite. This author always wrote stories for children about particular regions or times in America with a mission similar to that of Michener's books for adults. Though I'm happy that this story deals with some of the history of my adopted state, Florida, "Strawberry Girl" would be my favorite anyway because in its themes it respects and trusts the intelligence of the juvenile reader in ways few of Miss Lenski's comtemporaries ever did. The story poses real, sometimes startling issues of responsibility with adult tensions and dangers that the family of our protagonist has to negotiate. I wish I had more than just 2 thumbs to point up.
