Best Book Ever

This is my all time favorite book. The author did such a wonderful job... at times I felt like I was at Pathki Nana's side, and feeling her pain. The book is about a girl who feels left out so she goes out in the wild, like the girls do when they are older. Her grandmother is her inspiration. On her journey she gets hurt, so she uses her survival skills. She encounters many things that make her journey even more difficult. This is a great book... full of adventure and joy!

'must read' book

You must read Pathki Nana by Kenneth Thomasma. Pathki Nana is full of powerful feelings and emotions. The Kootenai girl unravels a mystery of her tribe and flees for her life with an oozing infected knee and a wild man close on her tail! To find out how she survives, read the book. If I tell anymore, I'm afraid I would give away the end. -Grace Borchers - Age 9

Pathki Nana

I thought Pathki Nana was an awesome book! I thought it was clever and I really like how much Kenneth Thomasma researches before he writes. Pathki Nana was an 8-year-old girl who saw something that would change her life forever. It talks about her difficulties in trying to get back to her tribe while being pursued by and evil man named Cut-Ears. I would advise everybody to read it!
