Individual Book Summaries
I think that in Black Star, Bright Dawn Scott O'Dell is trying to say that even thought Bright Dawn was in first she still ended up in last but didn't get angry and still helped people. She got the sportsman ship award for that witch got her $2,500. I thought it was amazing how far she got in the rase.

Black star bright dawn, I think that the author scott o'dell was trying to say which he did in the story that not to depend on other people but your self. Also i think that even thought she got in last that she had great sportsman ship.

Zia is a story about a young girl whose aunt is Karana from Island of The Blue Dolphins. Zia goes away from her village named pala to mission Santa Barbara in hope to find someone to take her to her aunt. Her wish comes true but it is not her who gets to go it is Father Vincete who is Zia's good friend. They come back with Karana but a old and not very nice father takes charge at the Mission. Karana can not speak to anyone and will not go back to the mission and she die's because of sickness. After that Zia moves back to Pala and stays there.  The Black Pearl I loved The Black Pearl. I think Scott O'dell was trying to say that you should never steal what is not yours. In most of his books, the main character is an indian. But in this book, the main character is Mexican. -Kyle

I think that in sing down the moon he is trying to say that even if you get captured try to get away but do not panic i think that this was a great story.

The Black Pearl I really liked this book. I think that the point to this story is that doing things that adults do does not make you a man doing things that you know are good is how you become a man. I think that scott o'dell likes to write about indians because in both of the books I read by him they both have an indian even though in this book the main character is mexican an indian is a big part of the story. -Parker
