"Even Bunting's thoughtful story Cheyenne Again depicts a fictional boy who experiences a very real experience of the late 1800s. Young Bull is taken from his family and forced to attend an off-reservation Indian boarding school. Piece by piece, Young Bull is stripped of his Cheyenne Indian heritage and forced to look, act, and speak as the white man does. His heart aches to return to the life and land that he once knew. Only in his dreams can Young Bull return to the golden plain of Cheyenne again. Readers of this book will likely feel strong empathy for Young Bull as he struggles to maintain himself in this new world he does not desire to be in. The story flows so naturally and poetically that one can almost feel, smell, and hear the Indian life that Young Bull describes- "The beds in rows. No huddle of my brothers, warm around. No smell of smoke. No robe spread on the ground (pg. 11). This story is an amazing insight into the Native American boarding schools of the past. Students will be shocked that Young Bull's experience actually happened to Indian children in history. It could spark further historical investigation as well as discussions about culture. Even students today could connect to this story, as preserving one's heritage in a new country can be difficult. This is an excellent book!"
"Eve Bunting is a great author of children's books and I admire her work. That said, I was a little disappointed in this book which is told in the voice of a young Cheyenne boy who is forced to go to a boarding school to be "civilized." The text is laconic (as opposed to Lakota - hrr hrr) and pared down to bald statements of fact. The illustrations seem stiff (unless they contain horses) and I'm torn between thinking that was intentional (showing the rigidity of the school and the cookie-cutter effect on the children), intentionally naive, or not that good. So I had to calibrate by re-reading The Train to Somewhere and So Far from the Sea, both of these historical fiction about separation and/or minority abuse. The former, about orphans from the east being sent out west for "adoption," immediately brought me to tears and I marveled at the illustrations in the latter, which was about the Japanese internment camps during WWII. Well, maybe Cheyenne Again is a "boy book." A young boy will probably be able to identify with the constrictions of school life and won't be weighed down with pesky emotions dripping all over the page. As a girl, I like A Train to Somewhere."
