Summary: Recommended
Comment: This is another in the American Girls series about Kaya'aton'my', a nine-year-old Native-American girl growing up among the Nez Perce people in 1764. In this book, Kaya and her family journey to the Celilo Falls for the yearly salmon fishing. But, Kaya has more on her mind than usual; her friend Two Hawks has promised to bring her word of her lost sister Speaking Rain, and her sister Brown Deer is preparing for her own marriage. Soon, Kaya finds herself learning that losing isn't always completely losing, and finding is always completely possessing.
This is another excellent American Girl story. My eleven-year-old daughter is a great fan of Kaya, and I must admit that I like the stories as well. While the lessons that Kaya learns are not as hard as those learned by Kit, for example, they are quite profound. My daughter and I bother really liked this story, and we recommend it to you and the American girl in your life!

Summary: The importance of family
Comment: Summer time has arrived for Kaya, and this means making the annual journey to Celilo Falls for salmon fishing and much much more. Kaya can't wait for the fun, but she also hopes that at Celilo Falls, some of the other tribes might have news about her lost sister, Speaking Rain. Her other sister, Brown Deer, is on her mind too. Brown Deer is soon to marry Cut Creek, and Cut Creek's aunt has come to see if Brown Deer will be a suitable wife. For Kaya it is a very bittersweet summer. She finally finds her sister Speaking Rain, only to find out that Speaking Rain has made a vow to the woman who saved her to never leave. And what about Brown Deer? Kaya knows that if Brown Deer marries Cut Creek, she will have to leave them. Will Kaya come up with some plans so she won't be losing both her sisters at once? I felt that this book could have been better. When they introduced this book they said there would be a lot of festivites for the Nez Perce during the summer. Unfortunately so much time was spent on Kaya trying to solve her family problems, that nothing really fun was mentioned. I was really hoping to see how Nez Perce celebrated the arrival of summer. There wasn't that much mention of Two Hawks either which disappointed me a bit. Still this is a good book to add to your collection.

Summary: NOTHING BUT FILLER! COULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER!
Comment: I expected "Kaya Shows the Way" to be a good book. As Kaya's stories progressed, they seemed to get better...except for this one. The book mainly talks about Kaya having problems with the choices her two sisters have made. Speaking Rain has been found, but she's made a vow to the woman who saved her life. Brown Deer, Kaya's older sister, plans to marry Cut Cheek, but first she has to prove herself. Kaya meets up with Two Hawks again, but not much is said between them.
The most exciting thing that happens is when Tatlo, Kaya's dog, gets into trouble.
Summer and Adventure stories are not a European thing. Surely the Nez Perce would have some interesting stories to tell! But Pleasant Company decided not to give Kaya a "Summer Story." What a shame. This book is filler, and not much else. I bought it so there is no hole in my American Girls Collection books. I now have the whole set in hardcover...but this is my least favorite of the 48 existing books in the series.
