I love the American Girl books...I think they're such a great way for kids to learn about different times and cultures. There are so many new girls out since I last read them! I decided to read all of them in historical order. :p

Glad we listened to the Kaya books. We all really enjoyed learning more about how the Native Americans lived long ago.

My kids (10, 7, 6) and I enjoyed listening to these on audio. They were quite a bit more intense and sad than the other AG books. We all learned a lot and felt like we got a glimpse into the life of an average girl during that time.

I will never get over Swan Circling and neither will Kaya.
Anyway, Debbie Reese’s review is the only one anybody needs: https://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2007/04/american-girls-collection-kaya-broken.html

Kaya has always been my least favorite American Girl. I don't really hate any of them (except the bastardized new ones), but I definitely had my favorites. I liked Kaya as a character, but I wasn't that interested in her time period. I guess I'd recommend her books, but they're just not for me.
