| I almost didn't get this book and now I'm so glad I did. It's the best book I've read recently. I'm stingy on my 5 stars, however I feel this one deserves it. |

| After reading the customer reviews, I ordered this book, which came, unfortunately, too late for either Western or Orthodox Christmas. But that doesn't mean it is NOT going to have primacy of place NEXT year!
The truth of the Bolshevik/Communist revolution, their COMPLETE dedication to the utter eradication of the Orthodox, Christian, Caucasian culture of Imperial Russia, is given in this book. (It is historical fact that the vast majority of the early Bolsheviks were 'ethnic foreigners' in ... Read More: |

| We are a Title IX summer school class of soon-to-be third graders. Many of us are Potawatomi. We enjoyed reading about our ancestors although we do realize that this book is historical fiction. This is what each student had to say about Night of the Full Moon: Reese-Fawn and Libby were friends. It's ok to be friends with white people. Peter-I like it when Libby's father wanted to give Sanatuwa land so he could stay with them. It showed that he was generous and thankful to him for saving ... Read More: |

| Gloria Whalen writes about a young Chinese girl in "Chu Ju's House." There is a lovely flow to the story and many lyrical descriptions of the natural surroundings, and customs. Ironically, work in the rice paddies must have left the farmers aching in every joint, with no time or energy to see poetry in their occupation.
Chu Ju is about fourteen when a sister is born, ending the family hopes of having a boy. Chu Ju courageously leaves in the night (to protect her baby sister's future) and has good fortune finding ... Read More: |

| This book is about a girl named Libby who is ten. On Libby's tenth birthday her family moved from Virginia to Saginaw, Michigan in a canvas covered wagon. It takes two months to get there. When the family stops they meet a nice man named Mr. LaBelle and get lice from his children.
I think the author could have explained the journey more. The story was interesting. This was a good book because it is a happy story and i don't like very sad stories. If you are interested in Native Americans read this book. -Amanda, ... Read More: |
