Zia: A Historical Fiction Adventure for Young Readers

Wonderful story

: )

My niece was sooo excited to get this book.

I've been looking for this book for years and finally found it.

This author takes historical people and events and creates a story to go along with it. My son, who is 12, loves this author so much we have purchased every book written by him. They have kept his attention, and he has reread several. My son's time and energy going into a book instead of an electronic device, can't ask for much more!

I absolutely loved the first book but this one didn’t feel like the first. The story had little emotion and seemed off the whole time. I did appreciate it for what it was though.

I chose this rating because this brought closure to the story of the Island of the Blue Dolphins. I was thrilled to learn more if the History of the people who lived there and their outcomes.

Both books are excellent. Of course, there's more excitement in the books than in the film adaptation. Although it's considered juvenile fiction, adults will enjoy the book as well as the first one.
