Pale Star

Don Coldsmith continues his excellent series of books about The People. This time we concentrate on the life of Pale Star as she is captured and subsequently bought by a man known as Traveler. Traveler and his wife take the girl on a journey of learning, discovery and danger to a far away place of unknown tribes where she will become the first of The People to come into contact with the French. This book, as have the others in this series, really captured my imagination, particularly when Pale Star stands on the shore of the great lake and sees nothing before her but water. The thoughts that run through her head made me wonder just what it would be like to really see something you had no idea existed for the first time. Again I urge you, if you've yet to read any of this series, to give it ago. Don Coldsmith is definitely up there with my favourite writers.
