(4) YA In the 1820s, sixteen-year-old Cherokee girl Dancing Leaf goes on a journey of self-discovery, encountering real figures important to Cherokee history along the way. The richly detailed writing is evocative; however, lack of any significant conflict combined with the intrusive presence of interjected folktales preceding each chapter give the book a stiff, purposeful slant.
