Sacajawea: The Story of Bird Woman and the Lewis and Clark Expedition

(4) YA This dense, methodical novel credibly relates the story of the expedition through the eyes of both Sacajawea and William Clark. The dual narration, which includes excerpts from Clark's journal and retellings of Native myths, is set within the larger framework of a narrative presented by Sacajawea's son. This unwieldy structure, along with the book's slow pace, may impede readers.
