I THINK THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ ALTHOUGH I LOVE SLAVERY BOOKS BECAUSE I think it's sad that people did that and I like sad books.Joan Price is my favorite author since I read this book and I think you should to! So READ THIS BOOK!!!

Loma and other Hopi children were stolen by the Spanish soldiers and taken far away from their pueblo. Loma was sold to a mountain man named Big Jim who made his living trapping beaver. Loma does not believe in killing animals for money. He and Big Jim do not get along. Later they become friends. It is an exciting story.

This book is a book on Hopi children who are taken away by many Spanish Soldiers and sold as slaves for very little, one of the boys was sold to a trapper, although he didn't believe in it. So they try to get back home.

Truth is a Bright Star is about a Hopi boy who is kidnapped by Spanish soldiers. He is sold to a man whose life work is killing beavers. Once the boy meets him his life is changed forever and so is the trapper's. This book is good and bad. I don't really like Native American books. I liked it because it was full of action. I would recommend this book to fourth and fifth graders.
