A review by srousseau
Island's End by Padma Venkatraman
2.0
Reviewed from an ARC.
Uido lives on the island with her people. They live simply, hunting and gathering for food each day as a group. Spirits tell Uido in a dream that she must go to the beach. When she gets there she sees strangers in shiny boats. Her brother and some of the other villagers are fascinated with the strangers and the things they have. Will the tribe be so fascinated with the things of modern life or will they stick with their own ways?
This book has short chapters and a very innocent main character. Good for a world cultures unit, etc.
