I promise I am trying to be cognizant of the fact that these were written for children. But I have a major issue with a white writer whose job is supposed to be introducing us to the culture and lifestyle of these girls in their historical context jumping to a kidnapping plot in book 2. I feel there are SO MANY more important aspects of Nez Perce culture that could have been explored in this novel.

This was quite an adventure story! Dang! Makes any other American Girl book feel super tame

I really want to like Kaya, but she really is only thinking of herself-or rather of her horse!!
