Commentary Concering Books I Am Apache

A young woman seeks to avenge her brother's death by becoming an Apache warrior — and learns a startling truth about her own identity.

After watching helplessly as Mexican raiders brutally murder her little brother, fourteen-year-old Siki is filled with a desire for vengeance and chooses to turn away from a woman's path to become a warrior of her Apache tribe. Though some men, like envious Keste, wish to see Siki fail, she passes test after test, and her skills grow under the guidance of her tribe's greatest warrior, Golahka. But Keste begins to whisper about Siki's father's dishonorable death, and even as Siki earns her place among the warriors, she senses a dark secret in her past — one that will throw into doubt everything she knows. Taking readers on a sweeping and suspenseful journey through the nineteenth-century American Southwest, Tanya Landman draws on historical accounts to imagine the Black Mountain Apache as a tribe in a fight for survival against the devastating progress of nations.

Evaluation Containing Books I Am Apache

Im always puzzled when an author chooses to set a novel in the past, even lists books consulted, but then proclaims that the book is not intended to be an accurate historical novel, as Landman does here. The subtitle on the UK cover, Girl Warrior, suggests that Landmans interest is more in the unconventional life of her protagonist-narrator than in historical detail. The narrator, no good at traditional womens tasks, decides to become a warrior to avenge her little brothers death at the hands of

Reviewed by LadyJay for TeensReadToo.comAt fourteen, Siki knows that she will walk a difficult path among her tribe. Having no talent for women's work, Siki has chosen to live and train as a warrior. Many of her fellow tribesmen view her as a disgrace; an outcast. Siki only wishes for one thing - revenge. The senseless murders of her mother and younger brother have sparked a bitterness within Siki that cannot be extinguished. Every day the attackers live is another reminder of how her family was

This book was an interesting read that gave me a new insight into the life of someone else.

'I Am Apache' is one of the few young adult stories that I've read about Native Americans.In her quest to avenge her brother, female protagonist Siki made some revelating discoveries about herself and her heritage. The author keeps the plot rolling as we accompany Siki through the trials she had to face and the battles she fought alongside to warriors of the tribes.The ending was not unexpected, and the integration of romance was welcoming, albeit being a bit short.Overall, I really like this

Didn't think I would like this so much, but it pulled me in, and I liked that the author consulted with a historian from an Apache tribe to get her historical facts right. Strong girl protagonist and a fast-moving tale.

Considweable research to make a gripping and interesting story.

This book has good words I can use in my vocabulary
