talks like thunder by Randal Nerhus & Marjorie Carter – Review by Stephanie Tellas)

“Arizona Territory, 1871. Seven-year-old Talks Like Thunder can’t imagine life outside of her Apache family. So after both her parents succumb to deadly disease, her heart is ripped in two when her estranged grandfather takes her to his Chiricahua village. Her extraordinary insights into ancient mystical beliefs transform her into a fierce warrior. Preparing to defend their sacred land from invading White men, the driven protector falls for a fellow fighter and his words of a brighter future. But when their tribe is captured by U.S. soldiers, Thunder’s years in captivity fuel her to return to those she loves and take revenge on those who stole her innocence”. The things she had to go through and the people had to go through was rough. Learned some stuff about Native Americans I did not know about, it was interesting book for sure. This is the first in the series and I will probably read the other two. I give it 4 stars.
