Summary: The Diary of Nannie Litlle Rose
Comment: The Diary of Nannie Little Rose, a Sioux Girl
º This book is wonderful! If you¡¦re looking for a book that¡¦s funny, sad, and has a little bit of history, than you¡¦ll love this one. It has funny moments, hardships, and a wonderful meaning to it. Made to go to a white mans school, change her name, and cut her hair Nannie Little Rose, goes through hard times, and has to make a decision. Should she go work for the Quakers, and leave her friend behind, or stay at school. What will she do? Find out by reading this one- of- a- kind- book! º
º All Indians were forced on reservations where they were given very little food to eat. Then a white man came, and told the Indians that some of their children have a chance to go to a white mans school to get a better education. They were forced to cut their hair, change their names, and wear citizens¡¦ clothes; some of the Indian girls decide that they won¡¦t forget their past. But, when a Sioux Chief comes to take the children away, will Nannie go or stay? º
º Personally, I really liked the book. It was the best book I¡¦ve read. I read lots of books, and like all of them, and I really like this one. I recommend this book to any one who enjoys a good laugh, and some history in the back, too! It¡¦s great, and hopefully you¡¦ll take my advice, and read it. If you don¡¦t like it, at least you gave it a chance.

Summary: What was Rinaldi thinking?
Comment: I used to have a great deal of respect for Ann Rinaldi. I must own at least twenty of her books, and have read many more than once. This particular book, however, is an atrocity, and the fact that she continues to stand behind it is disgusting. I don't know what she was thinking when she wrote this awful book. I was pleased to see that one reviewer already mentioned the Oyate website, however they failed to mention that not only is this book on the "Books to Avoid" list, as are many classics such as "The Indian in the Cupboard" and "the Sign of the Beaver," but there are pages and pages of criticism, in fact one of the longest criticisms on the list. Too many problems to be listed in one small review. If you have any social conscience at all, you will not use this horrible book.
