(3) 4-6 Birchbark House series. This third book about Omakayas starts off excitingly, with the Ojibwe girl and her brother swept down rapids. It becomes a bit static, slowed by details, but regains strength when a renegade uncle robs the family, leaving them close to starvation as winter closes in. They're saved, but not without considerable sacrifice that will haunt the followers of Omakayas's journey. Glos.
