Celou Sudden Shout, Idaho, 1826

First of all celous father is out gambling trying to win stuff for the family. He didn't think the Crow warriors would come to capture his one carousing thing in his life, his family. Then Bia gets captured but like most people would try to do run away as fast as she can they couldn't keep up with her. Bia ends up getting captured and then they take her away. Celou takes her little brother Mumbic and goes looking for her mother and she cant find her but one the way Celou finds her other little brother Jean-Paul and then they take off looking for her mother. On the way there Celou leaves her two brothers together and then they get captured. Then In the end she ends up saving almost her whole family.

I had to read an adventure book for a book report. This was a good one. It started slow, but it got better when Celou was tracking her family. It got really exciting at the end -- I didn't know what was going to happen to Celou next! It was yukky to read how Celou fed and cleaned up her baby brother, but I guess that's how they did things back then. Neat book about a girl who was a heroine.

Celou's family has been taken captive by another tribe-except for her and she has to save them. She follows them to their camp and has to figure out a plan. But what can she possilbly do? She must also survive herself. But how? Very, very exciting!

Celou's father is a French fur trapper and her mother is a Shoshone Indian woman. Celou's father has gone away for a month to sell the year's pelts. Celou, her mother, and her two younger brothers are alone in their remote summer camp. All of a sudden, four Crow warriors arrive and take Celou's mother and brothers captive. Celou mannages to escape. She rides for help at the main Shoshone camp nearby, but finds that it has been attacked by the enemy. Now Celou is completely on her own. Can she save her family, or will she be captured as well?
