Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Her name is Omakayas, or Little Frog, because her first step was a hop, and she lives on an island in Lake Superior.It is 1850 and the lives of the Ojibwe have returned to a familiar rhythm: they build their birchbark houses in the summer, go to the ricing camps in the fall to harvest and feast, and move to their cozy cedar log cabins near the town of LaPointe before the first snows.
The satisfying routines of Omakayas's days are interrupted by a surprise visit from a group of desperate and mysterious people. From them, she learns that all their lives may drastically change. The chimookomanag, or white people, want Omakayas and her people to leave their island in Lake Superior and move farther west. Omakayas realizes that something so valuable, so important that she never knew she had it in the first place, is in danger: Her home. Her way of life.
In this captivating sequel to National Book Award nominee The Birchbark House, Louise Erdrich continues the story of Omakayas and her family.
Performed by Anna Fields
Review:
"[A] beautifully constructed sequel."
Kirkus, 05/01/2005
Review:"In these first books, has Louise Erdrich matched Laura Ingalls Wilder's achievement ? I think so. She has created a world, fictional but real: absorbing, funny, serious and convincingly human."
New York Times Book Review, 06/19/2005
