A young Indian girl, caught between the traditional world of her mother and the present world of the mission, is helped by her Aunt Karana, whose story was told in Island of the Blue Dolphins. In this Newbery Honor-winning tale of survival, strength, and courage, Ramon finds the legendary Pearl of Heaven while cave diving in the Vermilion Sea, but there could be a difficult price to pay for such a discovery. In this Newbery Honor book, the Navajo tribe’s forced march from their homeland to Fort Sumner by white soldiers and settlers is dramatically and courageously told by young Bright Morning. In this Newbery Honor book, Esteban, a seventeen-year-old cartographer, recalls his adventures with a band of conquistadors while awaiting trial for murder and withholding from the king the obligatory fifth of the gold found in Cibola. This powerful account of the tragic defeat of the Nez Perce Indians in 1877 by the United States Army is narrated by Chief Joseph’s strong and brave daughter.
