YA
After her little brother is murdered by Mexican soldiers, fourteen-year-old Siki decides to follow the path toward becoming an Apache Indian warrior. Her actions bring revenge but not peace as she struggles to understand violence, love, loyalty, and the mystery of her identity. Though its historical and cultural accuracy are suspect, the story itself is compelling. Bib.
