    Nineteenth-century American pioneer life is vividly portrayed through the eyes of Omakayas, a spirited 7-year-old Ojibwa girl, in this engaging novel for young readers. After surviving a smallpox epidemic on Spirit Island, Omakayas, affectionately nicknamed Little Frog for her first hop, is rescued by Tallow and welcomed into an Ojibwa family on Lake Superior's Madeline Island. The story unfolds over four seasons in 1847, highlighting the challenges and joys of daily life within her Native American community, where activities like tanning moose hides and berry picking coexist with encounters with wildlife and ghost stories by the fire. The author, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwa, drew inspiration from Ojibwa elders, historical letters, and her own experiences on the island with her children, enriching the narrative with authenticity. Omakayas emerges as a relatable character, navigating her feelings about family, discovering her talents, and grappling with concepts of life and death. The author’s delicate pencil illustrations enhance the poetic storytelling. Readers will eagerly anticipate more adventures of this brave, intuitive girl, as Erdrich's work joins the ranks of children's literary classics. (Ages 9 and older)
