I read the book I Am Regina by Sally M. Keehn.  It is about a 10 year old girl named Regina who is captured by Indians with her sister Barbara. Their Mom and brother are not at the house but her father and brother Christian are. Unfortunately her father and Christian are scalped in their home in front of Regina and her sister. Regina and her
sister are taken hostage in a forest and then separated into different tribes so all Regina has is a two or three year old girl. She can't talk so Regina names her Sarah. Regina, Sarah, and an Indian named Tiger Claw journey to a big village. There Regina and Sarah get a family.

At first it is hard for Regina to adjust to the new ways of life. Eventually she gets used to it. As Regina gets older she experiences sad, difficult, and hard times. If you want to know the rest of it read the book.

I like how the author has put so much detail into it because it makes the story more enjoyable. I recommend this book to anybody who is ready for thrills, action and a great book!!!      

Summer 2002

I am Regina has a lot of feeling in it. There is a part in the beginning of the story where she is captured, and taken from her family by a Native American tribe. As they travel toward the village, she describes how her feet are so sore from walking. The first night, she sits on her bed and wonders, if she were home, what they would be doing. She imagines picking berries and gathering the corn with her sister. Some parts are scary, and some are kind of gruesome.

Overall, I think it is very well written and it is a good book.
