The Girl from Korn Kindle Edition

by Eileen Hobbs (Author), Francesca Watt (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars (4)
A young girl undertakes a long, harrowing journey to find a new home, only to discover that finding her place is going to be harder than she imagined. An incredible story about immigration, resilience, and family.

At the turn of the century, Anna Mathilda DeFehr, known as Tillie to her friends and family, sets off on a life-changing journey from Europe to America. Immigrating with her Mennonite family, Tillie braves the open sea, a long train from the shining New York harbor to the rolling plains of Oklahoma, and the strange new world she finds herself in.

As her family journeys from the cramped and crowded steerage of a ship to the bustling crowds of Ellis Island, then again to settle in a quiet community that doesn’t understand her way of life, Tillie faces countless challenges: Learning a brand new language. Adjusting to life in a sod house. Confronting the elements and unsuitable living conditions. And, most of all, finding out how on earth she can call this place her home.

This historical fiction story explores how one girl’s faith, hope, and love for her family can propel her through a storm of obstacles to claim her rightful place within her own heart. With allies like Julius, a book-loving new friend, and Crazy Wolf, a member of the local Arapahoe tribe who introduces her to a new world, Tillie learns that home is something you build—it’s who you are and the people you belong to.

A captivating tale of the might of innocence to break barriers and adapt to change, The Girl from Korn inspires young readers to embrace their cultural roots while exploring the beauty of discovery in brand new places.

    Great book for anyone! I was blessed to meet the author and her husband in Corn at the book signing event after Thanksgiving. I was not familiar with her before but she has a way of speaking to young readers!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Heartfelt Connection - My Hometown & Heritage
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    This book captivated me from the very first chapter. The story of a young girl, immigrating from Russia to the town of Korn, Oklahoma, was fascinating. I myself grew up in this town, now called Corn, and reading about the early days of this community felt surprisingly personal. As I followed Tillie’s journey – navigating a new country, learning a new language, and adapting to unfamiliar customs – I found myself imagining what my own great-grandparents must have experienced as new immigrants to America and to Korn.
    The author brings an authenticity to everyday moments in Tillie’s adventures. Reading this book gave me a deeper appreciation for the challenges, courage, and resilience of the people who came before me.
    A thoughtful, heartfelt read – I highly recommend it to anyone interested in immigrant stories, family heritage, or simply a beautifully told narrative.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A children's book that speaks to everyone!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    Through the whole book I was thinking how much I would have gotten out of it as a young girl. We all have had times we felt we didn't belong like the main character, Tillie, but she keeps going! Even when everything isn't perfect. The stories of her immigration and meeting new friends are realistic and you can feel what Tillie and other characters are feeling. I especially liked her relationship with Crazy Wolf, her Native American "secret" friend!
    I'm older & have grown children but still enjoyed the read. It would be an excellent gift for a child, girls & boys.
