Apache

Reviewed by Rula Anagnostakis


Siki, a girl of the Blue Mountain Apache, wants revenge.

Siki’s an orphan and has been left to look after her younger brother Tazhi.

One day the Mexicans attack the Blue Mountain Apache and kill many wives and children, including Tazhi.

Luckily for Siki she before this happened she had climbed a tree into the shade. The Mexicans had now taken her mother, father and brother’s lives. She now wanted revenge.

She decides that she wants to fight for her brother. She becomes a girl warrior. She is tested by the greatest warrior in the Apache, Golaka.

Her tribe goes to fight in Mexico. There she sees her enemy, takes her revenge and she doesn’t return to her Apache alone…

I personally didn’t enjoy reading this book. There are no chapters, which is very boring. The author tells the story in a language that can become quite confusing and boring for many people.

It’s not a book that I would recommend to a friend.
