      Synopsis

      In alternating chapters, Morning Girl, a twelve-year-old Taino, and her younger brother, Star Boy, vividly recreate life on a Bahamian island in 1492 - a life that is rich, complex, and soon to be threatened.

      Annotation

      Morning Girl, who loves the day, and her younger brother Star Boy, who loves the night, take turns describing their life on an island in pre-Columbian America; in Morning Girl's last narrative, she witnesses the arrival of the first Europeans to her world.

      Publishers Weekly

      In a starred, boxed review, PW praised this ``soulful, affecting portrait'' of a Bahamian family in 1492. Ages 8-up. (Apr.)

      November 13, 2008: Although "Morning Girl" is probably the best thing Michael Dorris has ever written, it still really is not very interesting and is quite confusing. The story was meant to have a very clear lesson in it, but that lesson didn't make sense and kept changing. It wasn't a very good book, I would not reccomend it, and I think this idea writing about these type of Indians could be quite interesting, with anyone BUT Michael Dorris!

      February 05, 2003: Morning Girl by Michael Dorris. Genre: Historical Fiction. Reviewed by a fifth grade teacher. A four star book! Morning Girl is the story of a boy and girl living on an island in the Bahamas in 1492. The author, Michael Dorris, shows the reader how differently a brother and sister view their world. The language is descriptive and feels like reading poetry. Morning Girl is definitely a book to be read aloud. People who enjoy gentle, thoughtful stories about people from an earlier time will treasure this book. The ending leaves you wondering about the changes that will inevitably come to Morning Girl and Star Boy. Michael Dorris also wrote Guests and Sees Behind Trees.
