'I will die proud, I will die free. But first I will live, and I will fight. I am Apache.'

Apache was better than the rest of the books I’ve have read in this year’s Carnegie award. It’s about Siki, a girl in an apache tribe in Central America. It is very heartfelt, and also heart-breaking when Siki, the main character in this book, loses all of her family one by one.

She loses them in horrible unforgiving attacks on her tribe from the Mexicans. Siki sees her mother killed by Mexicans and her father lost in an ambush; she then sees her little brother brutally murdered in front of her.

She then decides she has nothing to live for and becomes an apache warrior, so that some day she can take revenge on the people who killed her family.

I found this book slow at the beginning, but don’t let that put you off because it’s well written with great twists and turns once you're in to it. I would recommend it to all, thirteen or above 

8/10: a good read.
