I read everything the Gears write, for the light they shed on the diversity and complexity of the ways of life of the indigenous peoples of North America. Their historical and pre-historical fiction is informed by their being archaeologists. But beyond that considerable knowledge, they bring to life a good stab at the feelings, intelligence and wisdom of their subjects. Their stories are fiction, and speculative fiction at that, and should never be taken as "fact." But they bring a deep respect for their subjects and their context. For anyone seeking deeper understanding of what life may have been like for the original peoples of the part of the world later conquered as a "new world" by European adventurers, and then the whole sorry progression of colonial expansion, broken promises and often-successful genocide, the Gears' work is an important--and very enjoyable--adjunct.
I selected Children of the Dawnland because I've read other books by the authors -- married archeologists -- and I was curious to compare their first YA selection with previous books.In every real way, this story fits in with previous books by the Gears. The only real difference is the age of the protagonist. If anything, the authors seem limited to the same basic plot and characterizations. However, this would probably be the book that introduces younger readers to the other books, and you can read several before wearying of the similarities."Chiildren" provides us with a heroine, Twig, who is admirable, brave, and strong from the beginning, and her best friend who learns to share those qualities when they're needed. Twig has been having prophetic dreams and she must learn fast if she is going to save her people from not just a cataclysm, but also a Power thirsty neighboring people. (In these books, "Power" is almost always capitalized and carried with it a spiritual meaning.)The authors have always made a point of honoring as much as possible the histories of the clans they use in their fictional works. Spiritual beliefs play a huge role in his story, as well as all the other books by the pair. That means that parents along the younger edge of readership should give this book with the understanding that their children will be exposed to beliefs other than those of the Judeo-Christian faith. "Children" takes seriously the concept of prophetic dreams, spirit helpers, and animal totems. These beliefs are woven into nearly every page.Again, and this concerns the youngest readers who might be interested, there's a lot of violence and fairly explicit descriptions of death, murder, mutilation, and mortal wounds.Teens who are interested in this topic should have a good time with this story; after finishing it, they can delve right into the adult books by the authors and find similar stories. The books usually include maps so you know where the stories take place. This one is set somewhere around the Great Lakes region.The book is also a springboard for thought. Twig is part of the Clovis people. What we know about the real story is that something devastating happened to them about 13,000 years ago. The writers ascribe it to one popular and credible theory. Another theory, that the authors hint at, is that the Clovis people might have disappeared in part due to simply over-hunting, proving that conservation is not a new concern.There are also indications that this is not the last we'll see of Twig and her people, and I believe that is welcome news.
A historically accurate novel, written with younger people in mind. The Gear/Gear author team does an amazing job of researching ancient cultures before incorporating that information into interesting books to read. I enjoyed the read, as have youngsters I have shared the book with. One teacher friend uses this book as a text in her American history class. I anxiously await the release of each & every new Gear novel.
Great Reading
I enjoyed it and it was quite suspenseful, however I did not realize until almost the end that it was written for young adults and I had hoped for the continuation of some of my other "People of" books.
Thank you!
Good series
yet another story that is captivating from the moment you open the book
