What to expect
At age sixteen, Sacajawea is married, a mother, and has been taken from her Shoshone people. She has been asked to join Lewis and Clark in their expedition to explore the land from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean.
As a translator, peacemaker, caretaker, and guide, young Sacajawea alone will make the historic journey of Lewis and Clark possible.
This captivating novel, which is told in alternating points of view—by Sacajawea herself and by William Clark—is a unique blend of history and humanity. It proves an intimate glimpse into what it would have been like to witness firsthand this fascinating time in our history. This is Sacajawea's legendary journey.

u201cAn engaging book to share with young adults, who will find it all the more fascinating to learn that Sacajawea was a teenager when she made history with Lewis and Clark.u201d
u201cA grand adventure and an inspiration that is not to be missed.u201d
u201cThe two voices resonate across time and cultures. Sacajaweau2019s narrative is always prefaced by metaphorical native tales; Captain Clarku2019s story follows excerpts from Meriwether Lewisu2019s text of the expedition. The readings of these cultural brackets are masterful, for we are made fully aware of the differences between oral recitation, reading text, and storytellingu2026[A] highly entertaining family narrative.u201d
u201cHow pleased I am with your beautiful telling of my cousinu2019s story. I found it filled with a wonderful spirit and many things that have not been written about before.u201d
