by Michael Dorris (Author)
Winner of the Scott O'Dell Award, this moving and poetic fictional story follows two Taíno siblings and their life in the Bahamas during the fateful year of 1492.
Morning Girl and her younger brother, Star Boy, couldn't be more different. Morning Girl relishes the day and all it has to offer, while Star Boy loves the night. As they navigate change on their island, from familial struggles to the onset of a hurricane, they realize everything that makes them different has the power to bring them closer together. This historical coming-of-age story thoughtfully portrays life in the Caribbean as well as Morning Girl and Star Boys' complex sibling bond leading up to the eve of Christopher Columbus' arrival. Told from alternating points of view, this is a rich, lyrical story about an Indigenous Bahamian family and the strong bonds of love.Author Biography
