Reuniting With Family,
By
This review is from: Kaya Shows The Way (American Girl) (Paperback)
I didn't want to give away the story in previous reviews, but I now feel safe to say that this is the book in which Kaya reunites with her blind sister, Speaking Rain. In Book 2, Kaya had to leave her sister behind to escape from an enemy camp, and worried the whole time after that she would never see her sister again. But in this book, Kaya is reunited with her sister, who has something to say that will alter the happiness Kaya is feeling. As usual, the art in the book is beautiful, and the history pages in the book were quite interesting. Sadly, the waterfalls where Kaya's people fished for salmon in this book were ruined by the building of dams, otherwise I might want to see real pictures of what were described as amazing waterfalls. Kaya and her peoples' story is an interesting one, because there wasn't much civilization back then, and the land was more open and wild.
I think every girl learning about the Nez Perce, American history, Native Americans, or any girl who loves to read should read the Kaya books.

Very Interesting Read,
This review is from: Kaya Shows The Way (American Girl) (Paperback)
This is a book about a Nez Perce Indian girl named Kaya. Yet, this story is not only about Kaya but also about her adventures and her families life as well. This book is very interesting which makes for a quick read as well. The book offers many interesting facts and information on the way of life for girls like Kaya, the Nez Perce, and the time era this story takes place. So, this is very informational. I would encourage everyone to read this book if they are looking to be entertained as well as informed.

Recommended,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Kaya Shows the Way: A Sister Story (American Girl) (Hardcover)
This is another in the American Girls series about Kaya'aton'my', a nine-year-old Native-American girl growing up among the Nez Perce people in 1764. In this book, Kaya and her family journey to the Celilo Falls for the yearly salmon fishing. But, Kaya has more on her mind than usual; her friend Two Hawks has promised to bring her word of her lost sister Speaking Rain, and her sister Brown Deer is preparing for her own marriage. Soon, Kaya finds herself learning that losing isn't always completely losing, and finding is always completely possessing.This is another excellent American Girl story. My eleven-year-old daughter is a great fan of Kaya, and I must admit that I like the stories as well. While the lessons that Kaya learns are not as hard as those learned by Kit, for example, they are quite profound. My daughter and I bother really liked this story, and we recommend it to you and the American girl in your life!
