Winner-Scott O'dell Award for Historical Fiction "Youthful brother and sister narrators are a great choice to interpret Dorris's novel, written from the point of view of Morning Girl and Star Boy, two Taino siblings living on a Bahamian island in 1492" --Publisher's Weekly JAN 2005 Through the alternating voices of twelve-year-old Morning Girl and her younger brother Star Boy, we step into the extraordinarily rich lives of an indigenous family on a Bahamian Island in 1492 — just as their paradise is about to be discovered and a new world order begins to take shape.
