OUR TEACHER MRS GREEN MADE US READ IT AND WE HAD TO DO A BOOK REPORT ABOUT IT!
IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!

As specified above, the book isn't that good.
Altough the book is high rated, many people may not want to read it.
that's when the book report comes in: silently, Your teacher is plotting against you and your class mates. her plan is to make you read a boaring book(not all of the books, but most of them so no offence please), and then make you prove you did read it with a book report.
the problem with the book report is that if the book is horribly boaring, you will brobably have to sit down and write boaring things while reading the same boaring chapter over and over again.
my conclution is: if you have to do a book report about a boaring book, pay somone to do it for you, don't do it or get boared to death while trying.

I really should have given this book 4 stars but the only other reviewer seems to hate it (being forced to read a book can really suck all the fun out of it). Monica Hughes is an amazing writer who has written tons of books for kids and young teenagers. I have read almost every one of her books and even when the story itself did not especially appeal to me I could never put down any of her books. Some of her best are Invitation to the Game (SciFi), Devil on my Back (SciFi), The Promise (Fantasy), Seven Magpies (girl's boarding school in scotland, mabey historic fiction?). Monica Hughes has written children/teen fiction in many genres and almost always pulls of a great book. The story of The Ghost dance Caper is somewhat lacking. It is about a native Canadian boy in the 20th century who wants to preform an act of bravery (it's some sort of initiation tradition). It has been a while sence I read this book and it dose not stand out in my mind as an amazing book but I do remember reading it late into the night(a tribute to Ms. Hughes suspencefull writing).

In short Monica Hughes is an exelent writer. The Ghost Dance Caper is worth reading but I recomend Ms. Hughes other books more.
