This book was about a boy named Niwa. He was fishing with his friend when they were attacked by different amazon indians. Soon he went home running away. When the village found out they thought their enemies found out where they lived and soon thought the boy should run away. Everyone chased him, including his grandma. His mother found him and stopped the village from trying to get him to run into the jungle. They were all arguing but soon an airplane flew by. They, not knowing what it was, thought it was a woodbee and ran away. While Niwa stayed and watched the woodbee. He thought it had come to save him from them killing him. Because they were so mad, they thought they should kill him. He kept looking at it and it soon flew away.
In the airplane it was really Nate Saint. He was trying to find his friend who was out in the area. And thought the Auca village was where he was. But his friend was not there. He found him and told him that he had found the Auca village. Which he had been trying to find some tribes of the auca village and wanted to learn the language. They found out that one of Nate Saint's friends had a sister that knew a girl who used to be in the Auca tribe and knew the language, so they could learn the language.
They basically took the airplane and took rope and tied it to something to put it down and cut the rope, so it would be like a present. Soon, they put clothes down and all sorts of things. They found out that the girl ran away from the tribe, so the tribe thought that she had been killed by their enemies. So, they put in one of the presents with carvings in it, which in their language meant the girl was alive. Her mom was very happy but they were not very happy when they put on the clothes because they didn't really want to wear clothes. They came to put presents down every week. Then they thought they could come down. They made plans to make a tree house when they found a place to live. Then they could have a place to meet together and talk about the gospel. Soon they got the tools to make the tree house. They found an area where they could land and started delivering the tools. The tree house was made and they landed and went up and said in their language, "welcome." No one came out of the village that day. The next day, two people came out of the village and the mother of the daughter who was away from them thought her daughter was with them and tried saying her name to them in her language, but the white people didn't know that word in their language. And thought she was saying "eat." One of Nate Saint's friends tried to say "eat" in sign language and the mother went and got bananas. Finally the man turned to spanish and somehow understood english. They got along, but soon they thought it was a trick and shot their blowgun at them. When they killed Nate Saint and his friend, there were spirits that went up from their bodies. Then the girl that was lost came back and convinced them that who they had killed were good. She ended up bringing two white girls who were Christians and soon the whole village got saved!
The End.
Would you recommend this book to your friends? Why?
Yes I would. I think this book is very good. I think it's really interesting to find out the way the amazon indians live.
This book got 5 stars from Superkid.
---Mom's Note---
As you can tell, my son is super good at details. The problem I am having with him is the opposite. I'm trying to help him to see the bigger picture so that he doesn't tell the ENTIRE story over. There's no way at 8 years old (my son at least) would write this entire thing out on his own. I'm trying to help him to be less detailed and to teach him how to summarize the story in short small sentences so that he can take over doing his own narration someday.
