Of all the misconceptions and misunderstandings perpetuated about Native peoples, the role of women in traditional cultures is perhaps the most falsely portrayed. The image of the overworked 'squaw'...women as property to be bought, sold, or traded. Nothing could be further from the truth.

QUEST FOR A MAID is the greatest YA novel I have read since THE PERILOUS GARD by Elizabeth Marie Pope. It's a standard YA novel in some ways -- a strong teen girl overcomes self doubt, makes friends, helps others, learns lessons. But it's set in Medieval Scotland, and the historical details and the setting...

My opinion on it, however, is that this book DOES have...
