I think that this book was suspenseful because when a chapter ended it always made you wonder what was going to happen next. I think that kids are age would enjoy reading it because they can relate to everything that is happening in the book, for example people can relate to the lose of a loved one which the girl in the story went through. This book was a page turner because when you finished a chapter and you put the book down you were thinking about what was going to happen next so you just kept reading and reading. |

This book was so cool. The characters were all very realistic. It talked about the revolutionary war which was cool. All in this book was sweet. The plot was easy to understand. I love this book. |

When I was a 5th and 6th grade teacher, this was one of the few books that I used every year with my reading groups. If ever a book for young adults was written that tears at one's heart and helps one understand the plight of the Nez Perce (and countless other American Indian tribes), this book is it. Chief Joseph is one of my heroes. This book was a book that my students couldn't put down. It is beautifully written, full of similies, metaphor, and foreshadowing and is a book about the horrors of genocide written in a way that 5th grade and up students can understand. It is incredibly informative and age appropriate. One of my top 10 picks. |

I believe this book gave a good portrayal of the Native America tribes in America. When Americans started moving west in search of gold. I like the book for all those reasons I also liked the main character Sound of Running Feet she was interesting. So all young readers can give this book a try and the vocabulary is easy. |

General Howard has run the Nee-Mee-Poo out of their territory but the tribe wants to stay. Howard is taking the tribe to a reservation. The tribe strikes back in battle. They flee to the west when they have got Howard's army on they're heels. But the army isn't giving up. They track and fight the Nee-Mee-Poo many times during the story, when will it ever end? Find out! I thought this book was outstanding book because of the emotion and how you feel like part of the story. I think this is a good book for anybody who likes to read. This is by far the best book I have ever read, by far! |

Have you ever read a book where people are on the run and it seems like one big chase? This is your book. The main character in this book is an Indian girl whose name is "Sound of Running Feet". Her tribe and basically her entire family are run out of her homeland by a mean one armed General who is a white man. The General and his army give this Indian Tribe thirty days to get off the land so they can bring people in to dig for gold. The Tribe does move off the land but every night they run into small wars with the Army so they are constantly being hunted and shot down. Sound of Running Feet was supposed to be married and planning for her wedding to "Swan Necklace" her fiancée. He becomes a big warrior fighting every night with the rest of the tribe. They are constantly in battle and it's interesting how many twists this story takes. It is all set in South Dakota as they move out of the state. How do they find food to live on, and water to drink? The weather plays a nasty role throughout the entire book. If your looking for sunny skies and happy days? Then this is not the book. It grabs you from the beginning and keeps you hooked till the very end. Believe me!! Sound of Running Feet doesn’t end up in Disneyland. |
