Apache: Girl Warrior by Tanya Landman

I borrowed this from the school library on the recommendation of the librarian. To be honest, I didn't really fancy it too much, and as I was reading it, the "tell" rather than "show" writing sometimes niggled me a bit. However, it was a very haunting and insightful tale of the life of the Apaches in North America, facing conflict from the Mexicans and then the white settlers. Some of the twists could be seen from over the hill, unlike a good Apache warrior, but all in all this was an enjoyable if sad story.
