Illustrated by
Ronald Kil.
Set in the mid-ninteenth century, this fictionalized biography tells of the childhood of a Native American boy who grew up to be an important Arapaho chief. The story is adequately, involving but the illustrations are done in too many styles (some black and white, others color) to make the book look coherent.

Kit Carson leaves his eleven-year-old, half-Arapaho daughter Adaline with his cousin's family while he guides a Western expedition, but his kinfolk are ill-prepared to welcome a "half-breed" child. Osborne introduces the incongruities of frontier life within the struggles of one girl trying to find her own worth while living under society's scorn. This strong novel puts memorable faces on the noble, the well intentioned, and the deceived.

The protagonist of The Adventures of Midnight Sun, a runaway slave turned cowboy, plans to reunite with his family now that the Civil War is over. He is joined on his journey home by a fellow cowboy and two orphaned young people of mixed Arapaho Indian-African American heritage. Midnight Sun is a strong character in a well-paced novel that leaves room for yet another sequel.
