"The heartwarming account of Omakayas's year of travel explores her changing family relationships and culminates in her first moon, the onset of puberty. It would be understandable if this darkest-yet entry in Erdrich's response to the Little House books were touched by bitterness, yet this gladdening story details Omakayas's coming-of-age with appealing optimism."
Kirkus Reviews, 8/1/2008
Review:"Erdrich's resonant descriptions of their day-to-day experiences give the narrative a graceful flow."

Book Description: HarperCollins, United States, 2008. Hardback. Book Condition: New. Louise Erdrich (illustrator). 211 x 145 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. "Here follows the story of a most extraordinary year in the life of an Ojibwe family and of a girl named "Omakayas," or Little Frog, who lived a year of flight and adventure, pain and joy, in 1852." When Omakayas is twelve winters old, she and her family set off on a harrowing journey. They travel by canoe westward from the shores of Lake Superior along the rivers of northern Minnesota, in search of a new home. While the family has prepared well, unexpected danger, enemies, and hardships will push them to the brink of survival. Omakayas continues to learn from the land and the spirits around her, and she discovers that no matter where she is, or how she is living, she has the one thing she needs to carry her through. Richly imagined, full of laughter and sorrow, "The Porcupine Year" continues Louise Erdrich's celebrated series, which began with "The Birchbark House," a National Book Award finalist, and continued with "The Game of Silence," winner of the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction.
