NELLIE MAE
BY
Shirley Ramsey
At
sixteen, Nellie already decided she would never marry a farmer. Better marry an
oil prospector. Someday you might have a nice house. Not like Nellie’s old
farmhouse. That new girl asked, ‘what is that oil rig doing in your backyard?’
Nellie’s family farmed around that dirty rig.
MY THOUGHTS…
This book confused me a little. Firstly, I have no idea what
year this book is meant to be set in. The fact that Nellie and Ernie travel by
cart and that a car is a rare sight suggests that the book is set in the past,
but there is no mention of a date anywhere in this book.
To begin with, I liked Ernie. She seemed like a fun, loving girl. By the end, I hated her as much as I did Sonny. I liked Nellie and Steve, but my absolute favourite character was Oakley, who seemed so kind and caring.
I Recommend this book to people wanting something to read, but I would've liked to know what year it was set in.
