There are some serious differences besides missing characters but also the ending is wildly different. Now it is missing a good amount of characters and other things, but as far as representing what happens the movie is almost spot on. To start off with as much as I prefer the TV Show to the movie, the movie for the most part is way, way closer to the plot of the book. If you like to hear my opinions on the movie and TV show, check out the comparison post I did on them. Since I will be talking about the plot of all three, a spoiler warning is in effect. So I thought I would compare the three together on the merits of which one was the closest to following the plot of the book. I saw the TV show first then watched the movie and now I’ve finished the first book in the series. Typically I like reading the book series before diving into movies or shows but this time was the opposite.

Later in the story, the teen finds a foal who's mare dies while birthing. This clan travels the country looking for relics from the old days that they can trade.ĭuring their travels, Sahara sees horses and begs the clan hunters not to kill one that has been shot with an arrow.

In 1868, when she worked at a paper-bag factory, Mattie was inspired to design a machine that would cut, fold and paste a paper bag with a flat bottom. Never marrying, Mattie continued to dream up machines when she wasn't working. Mattie was only 12 when she invented this stop-motion device, preventing her from registering a patent for it, but she consoled herself with the injuries her device prevented. While captivated by the looms and other large machinery involved in spinning and weaving, Mattie recognized inherent dangers therein and designed a device that prevented moving shuttles from blasting off when threads broke. She built kites and sleds, but when she began to work in a cotton mill (still as a young girl), she put her inventing skills to greater use. As a young girl in mid-1800's New Hampshire, Mattie enjoyed building purposeful items from wood, using the tools inherited from her father who'd died when she was 3. Margaret (Mattie) Knight was one of those amazing women who never let her gender stand in her way, though others tried. |
