Atomic Farmgirl
By Teri Hein, publisher Mariner Books, 2003, 249 pages. M.A.P. 6th grade.
An ordinary farm life, with a twist. For Teri growing up will never be the same after her father develops cancer. In the Palouse Wheatland’s of eastern Washington, Teri chronicles her life with the horses and animals and wheat. As she grows up she tells about her life and surroundings, then tells about her adult life dealing with different people in her life getting cancer. As an adult she helps children with cancer. She helps teach these children to learn and to get school credits.
It is not the most compelling of books but it is still very informative. The author describes her life in a very discursive way, jumping from subject to subject with very little reason.
So If you like stories about farm life then this gives you that with more information and more emotion. This is a very informative novel. Good for many different purposes.
