This book was about two girls named Joni McCord and Sarah Birdsong. Joni's parents are doctors and are needed at a clinic at an Indian Reservation. Joni isn't too happy about spending a whole month at an Indian Reservation with total strangers. Her family will have to live Sarah's family. To make it even worse, her older brother gets to stay at his friend's house while the rest of the family is at the reservation because he has a new job as a lifeguard at the new pool. Sarah Birdsong isn't too happy either about white strangers coming to their sacred Indian Reservation. The two don't get along very well. It seems that every time they try to become friends, something always goes wrong! When Joni's favorite toy was shredded and ruined by Sarah's friends or when Joni took a little glass sculpture that was a symbol of Sarah's tribe, none of the adults seemed to care. Joni tried to give back a very special necklace that she took from Sarah, cut her leg on a wire, and to make it even worse, Sarah found out that Joni took it and was REALLY mad at her!

I liked this book very much because I related to Joni in a lot of different ways. I also liked it because it showed how you still could be friends with someone who is different from yourself. It had a lot of stereotypes but only to show how some people are treated these days because of their skin color and how people who are discriminated against deal with it.
