Shortly after her family is relocated to a Lakota reservation in 1880, ten-year-old Four Winds is sent to a boarding school to become "civilized" with white language and customs. Four Winds chafes under the strict rules designed to sanitize Indians of their culture. Though some supposed Native American language and perspectives feel awkwardly forced into the story, the narrative is well paced.

Set in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, this book tells of blond-haired, blue-eyed, eleven-year-old Milada as she is taken from her home, relocated to Poland, and brainwashed into the Nazis' version of a model female. Determined not to forget her family, Milada, who is renamed Eva, fights for her memories. Through well-developed characters and vivid descriptions, this story exposes lesser-known Nazi war crimes.
