"Ghost Hawk is a treasure.... Beautifully written, vivid with its
manifest love for the land, it is a story of suffering and
survival, both tragic and heroic."--Karen Cushman, author of the
Newbery Medal winner The Midwife's Apprentice
"Ghost Hawk is the work of a writer with great imaginative power
and long-practiced narrative skill. I was swept up in the story,
shocked, moved, and enthralled - and completely convinced by the
historical background. I haven't read anything better for a long
time."--Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass
