THE NIGHT THE WHITE DEER DIED by Gary Paulsen

A 15 year old girl named Janet who lives in New Mexico. She has been having a nightmare about a deer. She is the only Anglo [ white person] in her school. She met a man who gets drunk a lot. His name is Billy he is an Indian. Janet’s nightmare is based around how much she loves Billy even thought he is much older. She wishes Billy was still with her, but he left her to leave.
The saddest part of the book is when Janet is asked to leave by Billy even thought she loves him. She loves him for what he could be. Janet rode the pony all the way down the mountain. Crying, her mother had to help her get off. I felt so bad for her.

I think girls who are 10-12 years old will enjoy this book
