Learn moreAt age sixteen, Sacajawea is married, a mother, and has been taken from her Shoshone people. She has been asked to join Lewis and Clark in their expedition to explore the land from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean.
As a translator, peacemaker, caretaker, and guide, young Sacajawea alone will make the historic journey of Lewis and Clark possible.
This captivating novel, which is told in alternating points of viewโby Sacajawea herself and by William Clarkโis a unique blend of history and humanity.

โHow pleased I am with your beautiful telling of my cousinโs story. I found it filled with a wonderful spirit and many things that have not been written about before.โ
โAn engaging book to share with young adults, who will find it all the more fascinating to learn that Sacajawea was a teenager when she made history with Lewis and Clark.โ
โA grand adventure and an inspiration that is not to be missed.โ
โThe two voices resonate across time and cultures. Sacajaweaโs narrative is always prefaced by metaphorical native tales; Captain Clarkโs story follows excerpts from Meriwether Lewisโs text of the expedition. The readings of these cultural brackets are masterful, for we are made fully aware of the differences between oral recitation, reading text, and storytellingโฆ[A] highly entertaining family narrative.โ
