Our Only May Amelia
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
but she’s no Proper Young Lady!
It isn’t easy being a pioneer in the state of Washington in 1899, but it’s particularly hard when you are the only girl ever born in the new settlement. With seven older brothers and a love of adventure, May Amelia Jackson just can’t seem to abide her family’s insistence that she behave like a Proper Young Lady. Not when there’s fishing to be done, sheep to be herded, and real live murderers to be captured! May is sure she could manage better if only there were at least one other girl living along the banks of the Nasel River. And now that Mama’s going to have a baby, maybe there’s hope. . . .

- content: In her 2000 Newbery Honor Book and first novel, Jennifer Holm brings her Finnish-American grandaunt into the realm of historical fiction. May Amelia Jackson, a sister with seven brothers, lives on the Nasel River in Oregon in 1899. Emmy Rossum's presentation of this spunky 12-year-old is intense and genuine. Rossum lets the listener be the heroine's ever-present companion in the logging camp, the woods, or nearby Astoria. Through Rossum, the reader shares the intensity of May Amelia's frustration with her grandmother, disappointment with the role her family wants for her, and heartbreak at her sister's death. Rossum brings the action and characters close to our hearts. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine

Starred review from May 31, 1999
An unforgettable heroine narrates Holm's extraordinary debut novel set in Washington State in 1899. Twelve-year-old tomboy May Amelia Jackson, the youngest of seven children and the only girl in a Finnish immigrant family, lives in the wilderness along the Nasel River: "I have so many brothers, more than any girl should have. My secret birthday wish is to get a sister." Holm's uncanny ability to give each of the siblings--and a wide range of adults--a distinctive character while maintaining May Amelia's spunky narrative voice, gives the novel its immediacy and potency. Through May Amelia's travels, readers witness the diverse ways of life in the expanding West: peaceful relations with the Chinook Indians, the plight of a widow barmaid, the taboos around her brother's interest in an Irish girl, the dangers posed by the neighboring logging camp, her aunt's life in the nearby boomtown of Astoria, Ore., as well as the rhythms of the seasons. The sometimes gruesome realities of the Jacksons' lives are tempered by May's strength of character and her bond to her favorite brother, Wilbert. Readers will fall in love with May Amelia's spirited nature; when she saves her brothers from a cougar, she tells them, "I reckon it's a Darn Good Thing I'm not a Proper Young Lady or you'd be a cougar's supper right about now." This novel is not to be missed. Ages 9-up.
