Summary: One of the best books I know!
Review: The Indian Captive by Lois Lenski is a great way to teach history and a great book to read just for fun. I thick this is a great way to show and teach kids what frontier life was really like in the New World. Now kids can see that these people were very brave to live in unknown territory and that Indian raids are not a thing in storybooks, that many real people were either killed or captured in those raids. Including the faith of those adults and children during those rough times. In this book, the author describes the life of Mary Jemison. Who was a young child captured by the Seneca Indians during 1743. Lois Lenski captures Mary's feelings, emotions, and the hardships of her rapidly changing life style.

Summary: 1 GREAT BOOK FOR ALL AGES
Review: This book is a wonderful description of an indian captive's life. It tells how Mary "Molly" Jemison grew to understand and love the Senecas. After she was kidnaped and her family killed, Molly became "The White Woman of the Genesee" and spent the rest of her life with the indians. I am one-eighth Cherokee and I found this book spine-tingling, suspenseful, and a real page turner. I couldn't stand to put it down. If I could have I would have read it all in one sitting. I would recommend this book for ages 10 and up.

Summary: A definite ten

The author, Lois Lenski, does a great job of explaining the Seneca culture. Even by the second page you're hooked. At the end I wished there was more! I highly recommend this book to people of all ages. Even small chidren will be fascinated by the beautifully written story and the captivating charcoal pictures. This is a great book for families to read together. I hope you all will read this book.

Summary: Indian Captive is Captivating
Review: This book truely took my interest from the very beginning. The content is andvanced enough for adults and simple enough even for a 4th grader. Indian Captive surely deserves its Newbery Honor. A girl captured by the Senca Indians has to live and share her hardships with them while trying not to forget her family. I thought it was fun to imagine Mary (main character) actully live her life with the Senca. In realty, she actually did. This is based on a true story and is a good choice when looking for something to read and share with your kids.

Summary: Wonderful and Heartwarming tale
Review: This is a wonderful Childrens book that can be enjoyed by all who are young at heart. The story is based on the actual life story of Mary Jemison, a woman who walked two worlds and was know as the White Woman of the Genesee. I was fortuanate enough to have visited her place of burial at Letchworth State Park and now, after having read this book, her life has been made real to me. The author, Losi Lenski has a easy writting style and this book is one you won't want to put down. I cried at the ending. I would highly recommend it.
