"Kaya's
Escape, A Survival Story" a Native American Girl Growing
up in 1764 in Early America
 "Kaya
awakens to the fierce barking of the village dogs. Enemy raiders
are in her camp! As Kaya and her blind sister, Speaking Rain,
make their way toward the safety of the woods, Kaya hears whinnies
of panic. Where is Steps High? Are the raiders trying to steal
Kaya's horse? Kaya hesitates just at the moment the raiders leap
onto stolen horses and start a stampede straight through the
camp. The raiders thunder right toward Kaya and Speaking Rain
and sweep both girls up onto their horses. Kaya and Speaking
Rain are captives -- how will they every get back home?"
"Kaya's Escape" is the second
in this 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.
