From School Library Journal
Grades 6-10--Flint Red Coyote is challenged by high school classmates to go alone into Montana's Beartooth Wilderness for three months and live off the land as his ancestors did. To dispel their racist views of Native Americans and also to learn more about his Cheyenne heritage, the teen agrees to go and take only those supplies he can carry. During the preparation months, he builds a sled, dries food, and participates with his elders in a spiritual cleansing ceremony. Fact eclipses fiction, at first, as detailed Indian lore and skills are carefully described and shown in photos and illustrations. Vocabulary is defined in a readable context, rather than in a glossary. Action picks up when Flint waves good-bye to his friends and sets out for his base camp with his dog, O'kohome. The accounts of disasters such as an early snowstorm and losing his food supply to a grizzly bear are wonderfully realistic. Flint develops a spiritual resolve as he successfully marks off three months on his "coup stick." There is a flurry of excitement at the end as a friend nearly dies of hypothermia while trying to find his campsite and the resulting rescue makes Flint a local hero. Unfortunately, the print is small and difficult to read, and it seems odd to have a novel illustrated with unidentified photos. Ben Mikaelsen's Touching Spirit Bear (HarperCollins, 2001) is a similar story that hits all the marks when it comes to a modern teen surviving alone using Native American skills.
