This review is from: Horse Raid: An Arapaho Camp in the 1800s - a Smithsonian Odyssey Adventure Book (Odyssey (Smithsonian Institution).) (Hardcover)
While the time-travel mechanism is tired, once "Kevin" gets into the life of an Arapaho child, the story is historically accurate and will draw the reader in. Farnsworth's color illustrations are historically accurate, also. Nice story! On a visit to the Smithsonian, Kevin is awed by the magnificent Arapaho tipi in the Native Cultures of the Americas exhibit. As he is looking into the doorway of the tipi, Kevin suddenly finds he has become part of an Arapaho tribe on the Great Plains of the early 10th century. The tribe is jubilant over a successful buffalo hunt and soon begins planning a horse raid on a nearby Comanche camp. Thrilled by the idea of the adventure, Kevin seeks permission from the war leader to be part of the raid. When it is granted he finds he is up against the biggest challenge of his life. Will he be able to keep his wits about him and gain the respect of the tribe? - from the DJ, sort of -
