"Kaya
and Lone Dog, A Friendship Story" about a Native American
Girl Growing up in 1764 in Early America
 "When Kaya befriends a lone dog that has wandered
near her camp, others in the village warn her to be careful.
Dogs don't usually live by themselves, and some people think
the lone dog is not to be trusted. But Kaya brings the dog food
and can feel her gratefulness. After Lone Dog gives birth to
pups, she lets Kaya be a part of her new family. When Kaya looks
into Lone Dog's eyes, its as if the dog is speaking to her. Kaya's
grandmother tells her that if an animal speaks to her, she needs
to listen. But as the pups grow older, Lone Dog has something
else to say -- something that Kaya doesn't want to hear."
"Kaya and Lone Dog, A Friendship Story"
is the fourth story in the newest American Girls books. This
series of beautifully illustrated books is about growing up as
a Nez Perce girl - before America became a country. This will
be especially of interest to people in the Pacific Northwest
who are familiar with this country along the Columbia River.
Some may even remember Celilo falls before the great dams on
the river. At the back of the book is a "A Peek into the Past" that includes photos, drawings, and sketches
about people, places and things during this time. Recommended
for Ages 7 and up.
(Softcover book, 8.5
