Summary: The Journey of Eleven Moons
Review: Excellent book. Counldn't wait for the next book to arrive. I have read almost all of Bonnie Leon's books and just love them. She keeps the reader interested and makes it hard for the reader to go to sleep because "just one more chapter and I'll turn out the light" turns out to be I'll just finish the book and THEN sleep. Thanks Bonnie for your great Northern Lights Series. .......

Summary: I loved it!
Review: I've never read any of Bonnie Leon's books before this, and I wasn't disappointed. I thought for sure it was going to be a "survival story" like I read in school, you know, unbearably dull. I was pleasantly surprised! Anna, a young Aleutian girl, watches in horror as everything and everyone dear to her is swept away in a terrible natural disaster. Only she and her small sister Iya are left, and they must struggle on alone. A white-skinned, blue-eyed outsider seems to want to help, but Anna mistrusts Erik and his God. He is her only hope, though, and so the two Alaskan girls and the Norwegian form an unlikely bond. They face a long winter, hungry grizzlies, starvation, and rejection. Erik seems to believe in the white man's God, the God that crushed Anna's hopes and dreams. Can she accept Erik and his God, or will she be alone forever? Again, it was great. I highly recommend it. Like the person below said, it's one of those books where you think you're going to read just one mroe chapter, just one more chapter, then you'll go to sleep...until you're finished with the book! I stayed up past midnight reading it. Bonnie Leon is excellent!

Summary: Inspirational, soul feeding and a must read
Review: This book is set in the early 18th century along the Alaskan coast. Here, a girl and her brother are alone in the world with minimal survival skills but a storng will to survive. Without even a God they trust to turn to, they feel lost in the large barren world that they reside in. They were living each day as it passed until they met Erick, a 'white-man' who wanted to help them. At first they were a little apprehensive about Ercik as She believed that the 'white-man's' God brought the destruction upon her family. But soon, she learnt to trust him and the cemented a firm friendship between the two. This story is warm and it makes you grateful for what you have. Not only that, it is what some people may call "soul food" and is a good reading book for long winter evenings. It also shows us the awesome power of God and the fact that faith can work wonders.
