This is about Yoshi Kobayashi, a fifteen year old Japanese girl and her journey through the end of World War II. It is very thought provoking.

Margaret Coel does it again. This story waffles back and forth from 1890, when Buffalo Bill was traveling Europe with his Wild West show to the present. It revolves around Chief Black Heart and his regalia which were worn by his ancestors and were to be returned to his people on the reservation.  Of course, they disappear from the warehouse at the airport and the hunt is on. 

Buffalo Bill's Dead Now is available at the library and the call number is MF COE.

If you have been following the Elm Creek Quilts novels then this is a must read.  It spans 2 generations, going back and forth. Remember Sarah was pregnant with twins?  I can say no more than that without giving it away.  I now wonder where the series is going from here. Will there be another book in the series or is Jennifer going to write something totally different. I can hardly wait!!
