Summary: Naya Nuki: Girl Who Ran, a review.
Review: A great book that I have read is called Naya Nuki: Girl Who Ran, by Kenneth Thomasma. It's about a brave girl named Naya Nuki who goes on an extraordinary journey. Here's some of the story. Naya Nuki and her tribe are going to a prairie to hunt buffalo. When they are going to the prairie, an enemy tribe attacks their tribe. During the attack Naya Nuki is captured. Then the enemy tribe takes Naya Nuki to their land and forces her to work for an old lady. The old lady doesn't know that Naya Nuki escapes on a rainy night. On her way back to her homeland she faces many challenges! This story takes place in America before the settlers arrived when Indians ruled the land. I think this story is inspiring me to be brave and to do what you think is right. I really think you should read this book. 4th grader, Essex Prescott, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Summary: Great Book!!
Review: Naya Nuki is a great book. This book is about a young, Shoshoni girl who got captured at the age of eleven. She was taken away from her family and was forced to march down to North Dakota an Indian village. When Naya Nuki got there she became a slave. Survival was nearly impossible; every member had to work together. Even though food was a scarce thing, Naya Nuki always had energy. After time went by the only thing Naya Nuki could think of was being home with her Shoshoni people. During the whole march Naya Nuki was watching for landmarks and places to hide. She had been secretly stashing away dried meat, roots and seeds. She knew the time to run away would come soon. To find out if she reunites with her family and Shoshoni people read the book! The Author presents an amazing story of danger, survival skills and courage. I think you will really enjoy this book!

Summary: Naya Nuki: Girl Who Ran, A Book Review
Review: When my teacher told the class that we were reading Naya Nuki: Girl who Ran I thought it was just going to be another ordinary book. Well, it turned out to be one of the best books I've ever read in school. Naya Nuki is a bold Native American from the Shoshoni tribe. She is captured by the Mattinae while on a hunting party and forced to walk across the prairie to the Mattinae's village. Naya Nuki makes an escape to her people. Read Naya Nuki: Girl Who Ran to find out if she make it or not. I think the author, Kenneth Thomasma, made the theme rather obvious in this book. I think it is "never give up." Read this book and see if you agree with me. Kenneth Thomasma does a great job of describing the life of this young, determined Indian girl.
So, if you want to learn more about Indian life this is the book for you.
