A lyrical book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Two sixth graders, May and Evan, are on a field trip in Phoenix, Arizona and suddenly find themselves in an alternate time. At first one thinks they have gone into the past, as they meet low-technology-level people, but it turns out that these tribes have magical abilities. May and Evan have to find out why they're here and help the children of this time. I thought this book was well-written and certainly would be an interesting story for a sixth grader. There were a few violent acts committed but it wasn't too squeamish because the author told about them in a manner-of-fact way. For example one of the slave "Indians" is crippled when his owners cut his Achilles tendon. This sounds horrifying to me but the author simply mentions it in a non-bloody manner and continues with the story.Overlaying it all is a sweet story about May coming to love the desert. A good read.
