Sacagawea by Liselotte Erdrich

Biography
Did you know that Sacagawea was a teenager when she helped Lewis and Clark on the expedition to the Pacific Ocean? When Sacajawea was about 11 or 12 years old she was kidnapped by Hidatsa warriors. She was given in marriage to a fur trapper at age sixteen.When the discovery of America became important Sacajawea helped Lewis and Clark travel from the Missouri river to the Pacific Ocean. Sacajawea had a boy named Jean Baptiste and a girl named Lisette. I like this book because Sacajawea was a strong and brave young woman. If you enjoy adventures you should read this book.
