(4) 4-6 When her parents announce they're divorcing, twelve-year-old Jamie runs away and spends the summer with friends--a Navajo family. Autobiographically based, this introspective novel offers a detailed look at the southwestern landscape and Navajo culture; this detail, however, doesn't always add up to thematic heft and indeed often slackens the narrative tension.
