I enjoyed reading this book with my 11-year-old daughter. This book is based on the true story of Mary Jemison who was taken captive by the Senecas and eventually chose to remain with them for the rest of her life. The book was a little difficult for my daughter to read on her own and the chapters were long. I ended up reading most the book to her, which is fine; it was a good bonding experience. She was disappointed there was not more action. I think she thought it would have battles. She rated it 3 stars. I would perhaps give it 4.
