Week #1: Kaya {AGBC}

Hey girls! Are you ready to start the AGBC? Well, I am and we are starting January with one of my favorite American Girl characters- Kaya.
Here are some fun facts about Kaya:

  • Kaya's books' titles are the first to differ from the traditional format, for ex. Kaya's Hero and Kaya Shows the Way.
  • While Kaya's tribe is known as the Nez Perce, though the Nez Perce people refer to themselves as the Nimiipu.
  • Kaya has one sister, Speaking Rain, who is blind, and twin brothers. 
So for this week, we will be reading Meet Kaya: An American Girl and Kaya's Escape: A Survival Story. Come back regularly for updates on my sidebar- I will be posting where I am in the books and what I like so far! Then once you've finished the two books, come back and answer these questions. I look forward to seeing your answers and replying to any of your questions. Remember, this is a book club so questions are encouraged- ask anybody about the books in the comments section!

Here are my questions for you:

Trivia Questions:
Kaya is given the nickname Magpie for competing in what event?
Kaya and Speaking Rain are kidnapped by which Native American tribe?

Book Questions:
What is your favorite part about of both of the books?
What do you think of Kaya's character so far? Do you think she's brave and daring, or just a fool?

I look forward to reading your comments and replying to them as well!

ps. Every Thursday is an AGBC Day!
