Sacagawea is a young girl when this story begins, and is captured by the Minnatarees in the first chapter. The book continues with her captivity, marriage, and journey with the Lewis and Clark expedition. I think it is interesting if you are looking for fiction in this setting, but not if you want the facts. None of the history I have read substantiates any kind of romance between Sacagawea and William Clark, for example.
Also, the book seems geared to children about the age of thirteen, as that is Sacagawea’s age for most of it. I would not recommend it to children that young, as I consider the themes of her marriage and attraction to William Clark to be too mature.
