Excellent true story told in journal form with photos in the back of the removal of young American Indians from their homes & reservations to attend "white" schools where they are taught how to speak English, dress like white people in the "hope" of them being assimilated into the white society. This is a young adult book that should be read by all those seeking to understand the history of our country in regard to the various Indian Nations within our borders. Ann Rinaldi is an excellent writer of history in the form of stories based in fact.
