5.0 out of 5 stars What it's like to be a Navaho girl, December 6, 2000

A Kid's Review

The book I read was called Sing Down the Moon. It is about a Navaho girl named Bright Morning. She tells about all the adventures she has had. She tells about when slave traders captured her and what she does. I learned about Navaho life and how the United States soldiers treated Navaho people. The soldiers forced the Navaho people out of their canyon and forced them to walk to Fort Sumner. I liked the book very much. I liked hearing what life was like for the Navahos in the 1860's from the point of view of a girl close to my age. It was very exciting. There was a lot of action. I especially liked the part where Bright Morning and her husband Tall Boy escape the Long Knives. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Navaho history and likes an exciting adventure story.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Navaho Trail of Tears, May 13, 2006

By	Green Marker Girl "Bernadette" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

One morning, while Navaho fourteen year old Bright Morning and her friend Running Bird are out in the fields of their home, Canyon de Chelly, tending sheep, they see strange men approaching. Before they can stop it, Bright Morning is kidnapped by the men, who turn out to be Spanish Slave-holders, and take her to a South-Western town, dominantly Mexican. She is sold as a slave to a Spanish speaking family, where she meets another slave, who can speak her language. Bright Morning tries desperately to find a way to get back to her people. The other slave imprisoned with her tells her the way, and Bright Morning is able to make a narrow escape back to her people. But when she returns, she finds her village under occupation of the "Long Knives", or American soldiers. After she is forsed into an arranged marriage with another Indian, Tall Boy, the Long Knives push the Navaho out of their land- and onto one of the most memorable events in American history- the Trail of Tears. Many all around her suffer and eventually die as they continue to walk on.
A very well written story, and very informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE READ MY BOOK REVIEW!!!:>, December 14, 2005

A Kid's Review

Sing Down the Moon, Scott O'Dell, 5 stars

I gave this book five stars because this book is very good. This book has a intricate details and a creative plot. I really think that this book should be recommended because this book is a great read while being educational. I think that this book did deserve the award that it won because it was such a good book. Sing Down the Moon is a book that I would read over and over again because it is so good. It shows what really was happening during the time period of the Indians. Also this book shows about the Spaniards coming to America and trying to take over the Indians whom were thought of as the weaker class. this book is excellent and deserved the fivee star rating that I chose to give this book.

I would recommend this book to girls mostly because the story is about two girls, Running Bird and Bright Morning. They are fourteen and kidnapped by the Spaniards. They sell them to different owners and force them to work. Then they escape away from the owners, steal the horses of the Spaniards and run off. They get back safely, but then the Spaniards come after the tribe! The men are hunting in the forests, but they come back. Then the whole tribe of Running Birdss and Bright Morning's has to flee for themselves. You have to read this book to find out what happened. Although, the review was for showing that the book was good, I say this book was EXCELLENT!!!!

Other titles I recommend is, RL Stine and Hardy Boys. These are my favorite books to read, other then miscellaneous items.

I live to dance ballet. Ballet is the best thing in the world. That and dancing in my pointeshoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a lyrical and heartbreaking children's novel, treating The Long Walk of the Navajo people between 1863 and 1865. An excellent teaching tool.
