Synopsis

The brilliantly compelling story of a young girl and her Ojibwe family continues in this third book in the series, which began with THE BIRCHBARK HOUSE, a National Book Award Finalist, and THE GAME OF SILENCE, winner of the Scott O Dell Award for Historical Fiction, by bestselling author Louise Erdrich. Continuing the series that began with The Birchbark House and The Game of Silence, The Porcupine Year follows a life-changing year for Omakayas. It s 1852, and Omakayas is now twelve years old. She and her family must move because white settlers are moving to the Island of the Golden Breasted Woodpecker. Together they set off on a harrowing journey that takes them from the shores of Lake Superior westward, in search of a new home. This story of Omakayas and her family is based on Louise Erdrich s own family history.
