New York Times best-selling author and National Book Award finalist Louise Erdrich is acclaimed as one of the most important writers in the Native American Renaissance. In The Porcupine Year, Erdrich takes listeners to 1852 Minnesota. Omakayas, a 12-year-old Ojibwe girl, continues to travel west with her family after white settlers take over their homeland. Erdrich's books on Omakayas have been favorably compared to Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books

      Christina Moore takes over the narration in the continuing story of Omakayas, now 14, and her Ojibwa family. It's 1852, and Omakayas and her family have been forced by the chimookoman (white people) to leave their beloved homeland in Wisconsin. They encounter many dangers as they travel long distances to meet up with other members of their tribe. Moore's richly textured voice is reminiscent of that of a Native American storyteller. She masterfully navigates the story of the family's hardships and effortlessly pronounces the Ojibwa words interspersed throughout the text. Though tinged with sadness, Erdrich's Birchbark House series is a fine addition to historical fiction for its accurate portrayal of Native American life. L.A.C. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
