5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming, deeply moving story, July 9, 2004
This review is from: Wablenica (Tale Of A Lakotah Orphan) (Paperback)
Wablenica: Tale Of A Lakotah Orphan is a young adult novel about an eleven-year-old Lakotah girl who loses her mother and father. Entrusted to the Chicago foster care system, she struggles and founders in foster homes. A Lakotah guardian angel comes to her and teaches her the importance of taking pride in being Lakotah, aiding her in her search of a family and discovery of true friendship. A heartwarming, deeply moving story that intertwines the importance of tradition and faith in oneself with the yearning to connect and share the bonds of family love.

This review is from: Wablenica (Tale Of A Lakotah Orphan) (Paperback)
A beautiful story of hope, love and spirituality. Well written. I loved every turn of the page.
Mary Kay Thill obviously did her homework in studying the juvenile system and how the Lakotah live.
Thank you for this amazing book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gentle and engaging story, October 14, 2005
This review is from: Wablenica (Tale Of A Lakotah Orphan) (Paperback)
A gentle and engaging story about a young girl forced into orphanhood while finding her true home at the same time.

Rose is your typical preteen, concerned with her appearance, boys and her grades. When Rose was 10 her father passed away and one year later her mother died of cancer.

Rose is shifted from foster home to foster home, discovering herself along the way. With the help of an ancestrial friend, Ruli, Rose is guided to learn her Lakotah heritage.

Geared toward children ages 10 and up, this is an excellent fictional supplement for the child studying Native American culture. You can allow your child to read independently without worrying about offensive content.
