The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow: The Diary of Sarah Nita, a Navajo Girl

204 pp. | Scholastic | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-590-97216-2 $$10.95
(4) 4-6 Dear America series. Separated from her family, Sarah Nita suffers cold, hunger, and fear on the Long Walk, when soldiers force the Navajo to walk hundreds of miles to imprisonment at Fort Sumner. Despite the enforced optimism of the series, the supplemental information and photos reassure readers of the book's general accuracy. Sarah Nita's invented fables add interest.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
