This fun book about dog shows teaches the core curriculum topic of
inheritance.
Y'Tin is brave.
No one in his village denies that--his mother may wish that he'd
spend more time on school work than on elephant training, but still
she knows that it takes a great deal of courage and calm to deal
with elephants the way that Y'Tin does. He is almost the best
trainer in the village--and, at twelve-years old, he's certainly
the youngest. Maybe he'll even open up his own school some day to
teach other Montagnards how to train wild elephants? That was the
plan anyway--back before American troops pulled out of the Vietnam
War, back before his village became occupied by Viet Cong forces
seeking revenge, back before Y'Tin watched his life change in a
million terrible ways.
Now, his bravery is truly put to the test: he can stay in his
village, held captive by the Viet Cong or he can risk his life (and
save his elephant's) by fleeing into the jungle. The Montagnards
know their surroundings well. After all, this is why Y'Tin's
village had become loyal US allies during the war, having been
tapped by Special Forces for their tracking skills and familiarity
with the jungle. But that also means that Y'Tin knows how unsafe it
can be--and how much danger he is in if he chooses to head out with
no destination in mind.
At once heartbreaking and full of hope, Newbery Medal-winning
author Cynthia Kadohata's exploration into the depth of the jungle
and the not-so-distant past brings us close to a world few people
know about--and none will ever forget. Y'Tin's story is one of
lasting friendships, desperate choices and all that we lose when we
are forced to change.
