I do appreciate that we learn more about the culture and the day to day life of the Nez Perce in this novel. Reading about their salmon fishing and how they prepare the fish to last them through the long winter was very interesting. My main complaint continues to be that these books have almost no cohesive storytelling. Kaya continues to be somewhat thoughtless and selfish despite constantly promising to do better. She remains obsessed with her lost horse who has been gone for like 4 books. It’s upsetting to see how she seems more concerned with the lost horse than her blind sister who was also taken captive.
She is reunited with her sister in this novel, but again almost exclusively focuses on what she wants from her sister rather than what her sister wants for herself.

Cute and we learned lots of interesting things, as always. But I felt like this time it wasn't wrapped up well. I turned the page after the last chapter ended and we were actually surprised that it was over. And the decision regarding Speaking Rain's living arrangements seemed super odd and impractical, lol.

Man how I wish these were still published! My seven year old loves them as does my son actually he wishes their was an American boy book but he loves seeing the other side of the story too. At the end of each one of these is a small non fiction section that relates to the story. This particular one really struck me and made me do some of my own research. Yes I am 38 years old and doing research because of something I read in children’s book. You never know where you will find new and meaningful information. This is great book and I hope many people find these in their children’s hands even if they are borrowed from the library!

This book resolves the plot thread about Speaking Rain's captivity and eventual rescue. I had forgotten almost all of the details, and even though I don't have particularly strong feelings about this book in one way or another, it continues the series story arc well.
