| | 1. |  | A Yellow Raft in Blue Water: A Novel
from Picador
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Three women connected as mothers and daughters but each with tremendous burdens to bear and pass along. Although the stories are not beautiful, the writing in this book is exceptionally beautiful -- simple, direct, vivid, and tender. The author definitely knows how to bring the reader into the shoes... more info

When I read Morning Girl by Michael Dorris, I felt I was transported to another place and time. The book tells the story a young girl and her brother who live on a tropical island with their family.

| | 3. |  | Ramona (Signet Classics)
from Signet Classics
Customer Review:
It has been a long time since I first read this book, but the subject matter will be around for a long time to come. Bewitching love story for which at least one beautiful song has been written, "Ramona" and possibly "Vaya Con Dios". It is a love story, one whose emotion most of us will recognize;... more info

| | 4. | [no image] | The Broken Cord
from HarperCollins Publishers
Customer Review:
Thank goodness Michael Dorris wrote this book before we lost him. If you are raising or working with a child with FAS, buy it and read it and read it again. When I first read it, my daughter was 16. Her biological mother was profoundly alcoholic, and died as a result. My daughter has many of the FAS... more info

| | 5. |  | Guests
from Hyperion Book CH
Price: $4.99
Customer Review:
Given that I consider him one of America's foremost writers in terms of literary talent, there exists a relatively small body of work for Michael Dorris. Thus, I have purchased his (so-called) children's stories, just to have one of everything he's done. Guests is a beautifully written work, with... more info

from Scribner
Price: $19.75
Customer Review:
i read this after loving a yellow raft on blue water. i was unable to care about these characters- even the ones i already knew and loved from the other book. it is full of tangents, stories that start and go nowhere, characters introduced only to disappear, overly sentimental and generic dialogue.... more info

| | 7. |  | Sees Behind Trees
from Hyperion Book CH
Price: $4.99
Customer Review:
Let me just quickly preface my review by saying that there are 11 kids reviews here which were all written on the same day. Looks like a teacher might have used the book as assigned reading, then had the kids write reviews. That's unfortunate; students who are not readers tend to be critical of the... more info

| | 8. |  | The Crown of Columbus
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Okay so to start off. This book has a really annoying way of tell the story. It starts off with this woman being stuck in a library (which doesn't really add anything to the book)and then delves into the story of this man she used to love and guess what they love each other again (big surprise).... more info

| | 9. |  | Window, The
from Hyperion Book CH
Customer Review:
Carol A. Edwards of the Minneapolis Public Library, who wrote the School Library Journal review, must not be very familiar with Native American literature, because all things non-sequitur belong to the genre and Dorris was a Native American writer. She made a mistake with her review and she should... more info
