"Touch me
again," Aneze screeched from her tree branch, "and I’ll take out your
other eye! I will!"
More
laughter from below, except from One-Eye. For the first time he looked at
her. He really saw her. There it was-she could see it. He finally
recognized who she was.
"You know
I can do it!" she threatened.
Like a
flash, he was up that tree. Murder was on his face. His companions below
egged him on.
This is an
absolutely wonderful book! The main character, Aneze, now alone, with nobody
to take care of her, must face the dangers of the world.
The enemies kill Aneze’s family. Only little Aneze survives, and with a bad
wrist, she sets out to find her mother, who was taken captive by the wife
stealers. However, she soon finds her mother dead. With a hollow hole inside
her, she changes routes and starts her big adventure. She has to learn how
to survive on her own, this girl who doesn’t know how to hunt, fish, and
survive the weather or how to avoid her enemies. She has to find the hunter
in her. She calls herself Ahwak because she thinks it’s a good hunter’s
name.
I enjoyed the book for its native history, amazing story, characters,
detail, excitement and more! I think this book is appropriate for ages 11
and older because it has a lot of violent detail.
Tianna gives Orphan Ahwak 5 detailed stars.
