(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Randall Pijoan. In 1790, with drought threatening his Spanish colonial village in the Kingdom of New Mexico, young Raymundo must figure out how to keep his family's bean field watered. He turns to the Clay Woman--a Native American and suspected witch--who helps him craft clay pots that ultimately save the village. Though the story is overwritten, its powerful themes--racism, violence, and survival--are compelling. Glos.
