Summary: Good book? For whom?
Review: This book was recently adopted by my school district, and Iread it in preparation for its use in my 7th grade classroom. Although as an adult I found the story moving, I am left with a number of questions as to its appropriateness for some young readers. Parents and teachers be warned--this book contains detailed descriptions of scalpings, burnings, alcoholism, and attempted rape. The review provided by Amazon is correct--it is faith that gets the main character through ... . This book was adopted in my district to be used with lower level readers--the same population that may have trouble thinking critically about the books difficult and sometimes disturbing themes.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Want a book?...Grab I am Regina
Review: This book, I am Regina by Sally M. Keehn, was excellent. I recommended it to anyone who loves the most appealing books. This book draws you in seconds because it is so appealing. This book is about a girl who is captured by Indians. I loved this book because it caught my eye right away and the author explained it really well. It kept me at the edge of my seat. The book catches any reader by surprise because you don't know what is going to happen until it is happening, this makes it stimulating. I also really enjoyed this book because the author had a way of explaining every single detail without making it boring just more appealing. It also made the book so that you couldn't put I down. In conclusion this book is exciting and if you like historical fiction it is a must read book. Although I thought this book was wonderful some people may not. Some parts of this book got confusing but I continued to read it because it is still amazing and it explained the confusing parts later on in the book. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in historical fiction. I am Regina is the most stimulating book I have read I a while.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A terrific book about American tragedies.
Review: This is a very well written book about two tragedies. One tragedy is the story of a young German-American girl, Regina. She witnesses the brutal murders of her father and older brother. She sees the destruction of her home. She endures a forced march into captivity. She is seperated from her beloved sister and is forced to survive in a completely alien and hostile environment where she is not even allowed to speak in her native tongue. This is a horrifying story. A true tragedy.

Just as tragic is the story of the people who caused all the above to happen to this girl. They murdered her family, burned her home, forced her to carry a child on her back, and then attempted to brainwash her into becoming one of them. Yet by the end of the book one really sees the Indians as the real tragic victims of the story. War, disease, and alcohol, all brought by the Europeans, completely destroy the entire fabric of their lives. Regina, who discovers great kindness and love among the Indians, is a witness to both these tragedies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT
Review: THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK. IT MADE YOU FEEL EVERYTHIING SHE WAS GOING THROUGH!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: This year for 7th Grade English, I was required to choose a historical fiction book to read.

I hate historical fiction except for the very very very rare exception. So I normally dont bother with the genre.
I chose this book to read because it was the only one to choose from that sounded vaguely interesting.

This turned out to be one of the very very very rare exceptions.
I loved how it was written first- person, present tense. I actually felt like I was Regina. I read most of this book in one sitting.

I loved I am Regina, and will probably read it a lot more times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a book we're SURE you'll enjoy!
Review: Title: I Am Regina Author: Sally M. Keehn Reviewed By: Veronica Rossi and Alexis Umowski Rating: 9 Category:Historical Fiction We read this book and we want to review it. This story is mainly about a girl named Regina getting captured by the Allegheny Indians. When she was captured she had to walk on a long journey to her new home in an Indian village. Regina begins her new life with an Indian woman named Woelfin who shelters her as her daughter. Nonschetto became a friend to Regina and gave her one of the puppies her dog had. Regina named the puppy Tummaa. We think the author did a good job because she made us realize how it felt to be an Indian during that time through the main character, Regina. The white men were bad because they stole the Indians land. The white men thought the Indians were savages. If we had to change one part it would be when Woelfin and Tummaa ran in to the woods. We would change it by saying that Woelfin and Tummaa ran into the woods and then found their Indian tribe and lived there. We liked the way the author handled the climax. It was so exciting at the end when Regina got reunited with her mother!
