Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Newbery Honor Book In this powerful novel based on historical events, the Navajo tribe's forced march from their homeland to Fort Sumner is dramatically and courageously narrated by young Bright Morning. The opening chapters depict Bright Morning pasturing her family's sheep beneath the high cliffs of Canyon de Chelly, weaving wool, and preparing for the tribal Kin-nadl-dah ceremony. Canyon de Chelly provides the tranquil setting until soldiers invade the valley, burn the hogans, and destroy the peach orchards. O'Dell portrays the grueling winter trek across frozen plains as hunger, bitter winds, and illness test the captives on their march to Bosque Redondo. The narrative captures both the sorrow of an uprooted people and the quiet resilience of a young woman determined to protect her heritage. Like the author's Newbery Medal-winning classic Island of the Blue Dolphins, Scott O'Dell's Sing Down the Moon is a gripping tale of survival, strength, and courage. Native American History: Before the soldiers strike, Bright Morning and her friend Running Bird endure capture by Spanish slavers and orchestrate a nighttime escape through the mountains. Coming of Age: Bright Morning stands by the warrior Tall Boy after an ambush leaves his arm crippled, finding purpose as their traditional ways of life are upended. Survival Stories: In the squalor of Bosque Redondo, Bright Morning secretly hoards rations and hides blankets, refusing to let cold, hunger, or despair defeat her spirit. Unlikely Hero: Guiding her wounded husband toward the hidden sanctuary of Elk-Running Valley, a determined young shepherd risks everything to reclaim a future for her family. Also by This Author: Zia, Thunder Rolling in the Mountains and The Black Pearl.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Scott O'Dell's Newbery Medal-winning classic is a gripping tale of survival, strength, and courage. Based on the true story of a Nicoleño Indian girl living alone on an island off the coast of California, Island of the Blue Dolphins has captivated readers for generations. On San Nicolas Island, dolphins flash in the surrounding blue waters, sea otter play in the vast kelp beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, a girl named Karana spent eighteen years alone. Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that killed her younger brother, constantly guard against Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. Her courage, self-reliance, and grit has inspired millions of readers in this breathtaking adventure. As Smithsonian magazine put it: "For kids all over the country, reading the book in language arts classes, Karana is a powerful symbol of their growing independence. Through her, they can imagine themselves making their way in the world alone--and thriving.". Lewin, Ted (illustrator). …

Zustand: Fair. In this fascinating and engaging book, Sara L. Schwebel explores the American and California history that inspired Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins. She presents never-published material about the writing and publishing history of the book, and by showing earlier drafts of the manuscript, she sheds light on the revision process. Schwebel provides the kind of scholarly study, based on archival materials and personal interviews, that is all too rarely undertaken for classic children's books. Her important discussion of the portrayal of Native American characters in literature and the film industry needs to be read by everyone evaluating and thinking about books today.--Anita Silvey, former publisher of Scott O'Dell and author of Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children's Book It is hard to think of a work of children's literature better served by a new critical edition than Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins. It is a wonderful combination of thought and magic.--David Treuer, author of Rez Life: An Indian's Journey through Reservation Life An invaluable edition of a classic of children's literature. Schwebel's masterful scholarly introduction sets this much-loved novel in a rich and fascinating historical context.--Jill Lepore, author of Joe Gould's Teeth This incisive, thoughtful, carefully researched critical edition of Scott O'Dell's popular and problematic Island of the Blue Dolphins is incredibly timely and important. It will change the way California Indian history is taught in the public school system. Museums and cultural centers will also find the edition compelling, provocative, and useful.--Michelle H. Raheja, author of Reservation Reelism: Redfacing, Visual Sovereignty, and Representations of Native Americans in Film Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins is at once a treasured American children's book and a problematic account of Native American history and culture. For this reader's edition, Schwebel has assembled a rich compilation of information--biographical, historical, archaeological, textual--that will inform and challenge readers.--Clare Bradford, author of Unsettling Narratives: Postcolonial Readings of Children's Literature.…
