Summary: An Excellent Book!
Review: This retelling of the Lewis and Clark from the point of view of Sacagawea is a fascinating adventure. From her capture and sale into marriage, Sacagawea proves to be a brave and resourceful person, saving the lives of the party. Reading about boating down an unfamilliar river is exciting, and the relationships between the people are portrayed very well.

Summary: My Favorite Scott O'Dell Book . . . so far!
Review: This story took place in the Louisiana Territory during the early 1800's. The main character is a thirteen year old girl named Sacagawea. Other main characters are people in the Lewis and Clark expedition, her French husband, and her baby boy Meeka. Her husband, Charbonneau, was an ugly, cruel man who she was forced to marry because she was a Minnetaree slave. Clark, on the other hand, was handsome and kind and she loved him at first sight. Sacagawea went with the Lewis and Clark expedition so she could help guide them through the Louisiana Territory. They wanted to reach the North Pacific Ocean. Their journey held many difficulties including near starvation, floods, and frost bite. Do they make it? Does Sacagawea marry Clark? This is a great book. You should read it. Scott O'Dell is a wonderful writer. Out of all the Scott O'Dell books I've read, this one is my favorite.
