This was one of my favorite books growing up. I can still tell you exactly where to find it on the shelf in my hometown library! I purchased this copy to have for myself as well as a read aloud for my 6th grade class. I plan on recommending it to my daughter as soon as she reaches the appropriate reading level. I know she will love it as well :) It is a very well written story about a family that is attacked during a Comanche...

If judging a book by its cover, I would not choose this book. I don't know how I came to read it as a kid, but I LOVED it. All these years later, it still comes to mind. I would definitely recommend this book to kids, and adults would probably enjoy it, too.

I read this book YEARS ago and it still stands out in my memory. It was my favorite book in elementary school and I also bought this for my daughter. It's amazing how what you read as a child can affect your adult life.

I read this book several times when I was in elementary school. I have children of my own now and I wanted to give them a book I loved as a child. I always loved this book maybe because I have red hair just like Eula Bee. It's a good book to show children how powerful the love between siblings can be.

I enjoyed the book and it wiill be well used in the classroom. I will be teaching the book and am looking forward to seeing my student's reaction to Lewtie and his "responsibility" to Eula Bee at such a young age. As well as the shocking truth of children in captivity in our own country. I am very interested in finding supplemental texts to this book.
