Product Description

The award-winning author of A Yellow Raft in Blue Water presents a tale based on an entry in the diary of Christopher Columbus. In alternating chapters, Morning Girl, a twelve-year-old Taino, and her younger brother, Star Boy, vividly recreate life on a Bahamian island in 1492 - a life that is rich, complex, and soon to be threatened. In Morning Girl's last narrative, she witnesses the arrival of the first Europeans to her world.

For ages 8 to 11.
