![]() Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. ![]() ![]() Thirteen-year-old Pearl’s world was changing. It is 1923, but her villager’s way of life seemed to be gone forever when their best hunters spent weeks on the ocean but couldn’t find whales. For generations, the Makah tribe hunted whales surviving on its bounty, but commercial ships and the white man’s way of life changed everything for them. Read the rest of my review on my blog (don't forget to follow my blog!): http://shouldireaditornot.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/written-in-stone-rosanne-parr... Pearl wants to be a whale hunter like her dad, but in her Macah Indian culture of the Northwest, it is not allowed. All alone after her dad dies in a whale hunt, Pearl is taken care of by extended family. It is a time of change for her people in the early 1900's, as their old way of life is dying off with the great whales and their culture is becoming more intertwined with the local townspeople. When an alleged art collector approaches to buy family heirlooms, Pearl is suspicious and finds a way to protect her people from losing important mineral rights to their land. Through it all, Pearl learns how she can help sustain her tribe, protect their heritage and become vital to her family and community. This 196 page work of historical fiction is especially well-suited to girls in grades 5-7. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
