Sun Catcher desperately wants to become a trusted scout for her tribe so she can prove that she’s worthy of keeping her beautiful mare, Sunshine. Unfortunately, on their very first scouting trip together, checking the mountain pass to their winter home, they are caught in a rockslide. Then Sunshine disappears!
Hoping the wind-drinker has gone home, Sun Catcher returns as well – to find that Strong Bull, a powerful man among the people, doesn’t believe her when she says the pass is ruined. Even worse, Sunshine didn’t come home, and winter has come early! What is Sun Catcher to do?
ANGELA DORSEY currently lives on Vancouver Island and is thoroughly enjoying the ocean breezes, awesome hiking, and lack of snow! In the past, she has lived in a number of small towns throughout B.C., and loved them all.
She loves hiking, traveling, and animals, and has a tendency to name her pets after things that remind her of her coastal home, such as Misty, Raven, and Cedar.
Angela writes novels, screenplays, and non-fiction, and has a number of literary publications (short stories, poems, and postcard stories) and articles published as well.
Another winner! I'm one of those adults who adores YA and MG stories, and Dorsey and Miller never disappoint. This is the third book in a series (Sun Catcher is Book 1, Sun Chaser is Book 2) that I've loved from the start, but that just keeps getting better and better--and I'm happy to say each book stands fully on its own, so don't hesitate to jump in with whichever one you buy first.
Middle grade readers will race through the pages on their own, and younger children will enjoy the action-packed tale read aloud to them. Full of vivid put-you-right-in-the-middle-of-the-action details and the pure thrill of adventure, it's also a story that talks about the challenges in trying to get people to respect you and see your strengths--and about how sometimes the toughest part of that goal is believing in your own ability and seeing hard things through to the end.
