SOLVED. Katie? [s]

[Kathy]

I think the title of this book is Katie, I cannot remember the author, but the book was translated into several languages. I am not sure if it was written by a Russian or not. But for some reason I am thinking the location was in Russia. It is about a young girl that loses her mother and her father sends her to some relatives to live. I started this book in the 6th grade and I never did finish it. I would like to know the ending. IF anyone can help me with the author, I think I could maybe, hopefully find the book some place. I realize it is most likely out of date/print now, but if I had the name of the author I could google it. I was in FL a few years ago and the book walked out this old book store 10 minutes before I walked into the store. Thanks for everyone's help!

When were you in 6th grade, Kathy? It helps to cap when a book had to have been published by; some searches let you narrow down by that.

oh ok, I read it in the early 1970's before 1975, maybe I read it in 1973 or 1974. It was an older book by then also. I hope this helps. I have researched books titled Katie, and my goodness there are so very many of them, but none had an older publishing date.
Thanks

I'm only finding three books that are just called Katie with Amazon's search limited to published before 1975: Katie and Katie (both in 1974), and Katie (1884). If one of those are not it, maybe one of the other books in the search might help you:

Hello Amy, how do I read part of these books? I need to know about about the book. I think it may the one from 1884, but I would need to be able to look inside the book. and I cannot, or I do not know how to do that with any of the books you have posted. Could you tell me how I should be doing that?
Thank you again so very much.

Older books are hard to find look insides on. I would try googling "Henry Timrod Katie" to see if you can find a copy. Also your local library may have suggestions for how to go about it.

thank you!

[Kathy]

Ok that is not what I was looking for, that Katie by Henry Timrod is a poem, not a book/story.

Little Katia?

There's a different cover on amazon and some more info in the customer review here.

OMG! I think this is the book!! How did you know and find it?? Thank you so much!! Now if I can find out some of the story line, just to make sure but the cover looks about right, although I was picturing a porch or garden but never mind,that could be just what I remember from the story line. thank you

You're welcome! :) I just changed "Katie" to "Katia" because you associated it with Russia, and checked for books with that title from before 1975. Glad it is the book you were looking for!

[Kathy]

I did not even know about changing the name!! See I learned 2 things today!! Ask for help in the right places and you get a life time of help and when looking for stuff if it is another country pay attention to the spelling!!
thank you again
