Blessing's Bead

by Debby Dahl Edwardson

Student Book Review submitted by Kaya:

Two different girls, two different times, two different stories, and only three things connect them: blood, loss and a beautiful blue bead.
Nutaaq's sister marries a handsome Siberian man and gives her sister two blue beads... one for each of them, a promise to return.  But death rips Nutaaq's world into shreds and she's forced to flee the only world she's ever known.
Blessing's family has been torn apart and she is forced to return to the world of her great-grandmother and live with Nutaaq's daughter--the grandmother she's never known.
Can Nutaaq's bead- Blessing's bead -save her from wasting away in this new world? Will Nutaaq's sister keep her promise? Find out in Blessing's Bead.

This is a Bulldogs Read book- and it's a good one! A great story about growing up and finding yourself. An awesome book full of heart. I loved it SO MUCH! Every girl should take time to read it--there are so many lessons this story has to offer.
