Talks Like Thunder (Red With Native Blood Book 1) by Randal Nerhus & Marjorie Carter – Review by Sheri Schrader

Talks Like Thunder by Randal Nerhus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Talks Like Thunder is the first novella in the Red With Native Blood series. This is a historical fiction story of a young Native American girl in 1871. At only 7 years old, Talks Like Thunder finds herself orphaned. Though her people want to care for her, it is during a time of disease and famine. Luckily, her grandfather finds her and takes her to Chiricahua village. The story seems well-researched and interesting because it is primarily from a child’s point of view. I enjoyed learning more about the culture and lives in 19th-century America of Indigenous people. Talks Like Thunder grows so much in this short read. I am curious as to how the series will progress. I look forward to reading more in this series in the future.
