Summary: Another excellent Kaya story
Comment: This is another in the American Girls series about Kaya'aton'my', a nine-year-old Native-American girl growing up among the Nez Perce people in 1764. In this book, Kaya finds a hero in the form of Swan Circling, a woman whose bravery puts her in a class by herself. Kaya looks for praise from Swan Circling, but is deeply afraid of what she'll think when she learns of the mistakes that Kaya has made.
This is another excellent Kaya story, and a great addition to the American Girls library. My eleven-year-old daughter and I both loved this book, for its lessons, its entertaining story, and its wonderful illustrations. Kaya is different than most of the other American Girls in that she actually evinces her religion, something I wish they could have worked in with all of the other girls. So, my daughter loved this book, and recommends it for your daughters, and I heartily agree!

Summary: Names that stay with us forever
Comment: In Kaya's Hero, the 3rd book in the series, Kaya is in awe at the bravery of a particular young woman in her tribe named Swan Circling. Kaya respects Swan Circling's fearlessness, and how she even goes with the men into battle. Kaya desperately wants to be friends with Swan Circling, but is afraid her past mistakes, which earned her the nickname "Magpie" might turn Swan Cirling away. As Kaya begins to know Swan Circling better she decides to tell Swan Circling the truth of her past, even if it mean jeoperdizing their new friendship. However, something terrible happens before Kaya can spill her feelings out. But with the tragedy, Kaya also learns a new lesson, and gets one of the most special gifts from Swan Circling. I liked this new Kaya book quite a lot, and it might turn into my favorite book in the series. You can really see how Kaya grows through this book, and Swan Circling seems like the perfect role model.

Summary: Very good book
Comment: "Kaya's Hero" is the third book of six in the Kaya stories. Kaya looks up to and would like to be friends with a woman by the name of Swan Circling, who is a highly respected warrior woman who married into the tribe. Only problem is, Kaya feels that she is not good enough, in a sense, to befriend Swan Circling, because of her nickname and because she left her sister, Speaking rain, as a slave. When Swan Circling dies, and Kaya is left with a very special gift, Kaya learns about second chances. The peek into the past section includes information on sek-le-waal, the Nez Perce equivalent to Christmas.
