This book is about a girl named Cassie, who was captured by Indians at the age four. One day she was at the river near her tribe's camp, when a fur trapper named Joshua found her. They became quick friends but he had to leave for his job, but he said he would return to take her back to her real family. A woman in the tribe found out about Joshua and made her leave. Joshua returned and took her back to the town she was born in and she got to see her parents. Joshua leaves again and Cassie meets another guy which she doesn't know if she trusts. She gets into some trouble with some French soldiers and is sent to jail. Joshua comes to save her and they run off together to somewhere safe.
I like this book because it isn't only an adventure book but there is some history about the French and Indian War. So it actually makes your brain think about something that is important. It is not like the werewolf and vampire books that are putting mostly fictional things into your mind. Young girls really did get captured during the French and Indian War. Sometimes they were treated kindly and other times they were treated like slaves. This book was very good at giving information about it.… (meer)
