Kaya Shows the Way: A Sister Story

Book 5 of the American Girls: Kaya series

Summertime means salmon fishing at thundering Celilo Falls—and horce racing, games, parades, feasting, and dancing, too! Kaya loves to join the fun, but she's also got something serious on her mind: searching for her lost sister, Speaking Rain. Thousands of Native American families and friends gather at Celilo Falls each summer, and Kaya hopes that someone may have word of her sister. Kaya's older sister, Brown Deer, is on her mind, too. Brown Deer will soon marry Cut Cheek, a thought that makes Kaya both glad and sad. She lost one sister when she had to leave Speaking Rain with the enemies. Now will she lose Brown Deer?
