Morning Girl


Title: Morning Girl
Author: Michael Dorris
Historical Fiction (Intermediate Level)

This book is a beautiful and powerful book that makes a distant culture familiar and its loss quietly devastating. This story is told through a lyric feel, with an ending that is incredible.

Morning Girl and her brother, Star Boy may not always get along but, when it counts they stand by each other. This book takes place in the 1400s. Morning Girl, and Star Boy's life is going to change forever. This book is told by alternating each chapter between siblings. Telling the story about their life and family living on a Bahamian island. At the end of the book Morning Girl meets a group of strangers.

I would recommend this book be read. This is because I believe that everyone can take from this book.
