- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An amazing read. I hung on to every word in this book. Strawberry Hill tells the story of a little girl who finds the true meaning of a friendship. She is uprooted from her hometown to a new town and school. She is then forced to form neew friendships, but realizes friendships are much more than who's popular and whos not. Her next door neighbor seems very friendly and nice , but shows her true colors through out the book. Allie, the main character, also is faced with her first lesson on the prejudices against certain religions, especially hers. At the end she comes full circle in picking the right for her and not falling to the peer pressure of another. I absolutely loved Mary Ann Hoberman's way of informing the reader of things he or she may not know. She also w very sensitive to her audience. Lovely book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When I started reading this book I almost put it down because its simple style at first seemed flat. But it grew on me and I found that it had a lot packed into it. Allie's family moves to a new house and town during the depression when her father gets a new job. She immediately meets a few neighbor girls and begins the complicated process of figuring out who she likes best, who she wants as a best friend, who wants her as a best friend, who is really nice, and more. All of the characters, even the adults, are nuanced. Because Allie is the narrator, the reader gets a straightforward view of her world without any adult explanation or spin. I think young girls navigating friendships will find this book helpful and enjoyable.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Allie’s father had to find a new job when the depression hit. His family lives in New Haven and he works in Stamford. It is difficult not seeing them for a whole week. When things look up he finds a house for them. Allie doesn’t want to move and leave her best friend Ruthie behind. When her father tells her their new address is Strawberry Hill she changes her mind. She wants everything in her room painted pink. When she arrives it isn’t what she imagined. She can’t find the strawberries. She makes two new friends, Martha and Mimi. Mimi and Allie are both Jewish. When Martha’s friend from the Catholic school calls her a dirty Jew, she finds out first hand what prejudice is. She learns what true friendship is and teaches Martha not to judge based on what others say.I looked at the cover and thought this would be a cutsie little read. Boy did it exceed my expectations. The messages about friendship and the faces of prejudice permeated the whole book. It was not a slap you in the face deal. The main character is a fourth grader but I believe my middle school students would love this. The historical information was very accurate. I would definitely recommend this book to my students
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an awesome book!! I couldn't put the book down. Every tie my teacher told us it was silent reading tie I got excited. This book is about a little girl and her life during the Great Depression. When her family has to move she gets VERY upset, until he mother tells her that they will b living on a street called strawberry hill. Wow, any street that has a name like that has to fun!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nine-year-old Allie is not excited about leaving her best friend and moving with her family to Stamford during the Great Depression. When she finds out that they're moving to a street called Strawberry Hill she has high hopes, but she'll still have to deal with starting a new school and navigating the complicated road to friendships in her new town. This is a quiet sort of book with a classic feel. Allie's voice felt very real to me and many of the events may have been based on the author's own experiences. Recommended for girls who are looking for a gentle read.
