(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Judith Lowry. In this book based on a true story, Benny Len and his brother, mixed-blood Native Americans in northern California, are sent to boarding school in southern California in the 1930s. The school, where the students are forbidden to speak their Native languages, doesn't provide transportation home for the summer, but Benny's brother finds a way to get them back. The forthright paintings enhance the story, which is moving and informative.
