I don't remember---I guess that'll be one for you to figure out. I remember finding it very mature and really fascinating.

Romance, about a girl who is courted by the hero of her Pueblo Indian Tribe. Cute, I'm a bit foggy on the details, but it's pretty heavy on drama. Then again, it was recommended for Middle School readers.

Read a long time ago. Romantic, pretty interesting from what I remember, but it is a love-story... I don't know how romanticized their relationship is. The contrast of her life and the spaniards...

Whoa, I'm reading the flap and seem to have forgotten a lot. I liked it, but maybe you aught to wait until I re-read!
