• Great Story, Poorly Written 04 August, 2008
Reading books on early American history, I came upon several "Indian Captive" types that received awards. After reading 'Calico Captive' and 'Calico Bush,' I would recommend them over this title as the writing and dialogue within this title seemed unnecessarily stilted and elementary.

• One Happy Granddaughter. 07 January, 2009
I sent my grandchildren self-addressed, postage paid postcards and asked them to send me what they wanted for Christmas. It was really fun getting the cards back. My granddaughter wanted this specific book and said she really liked it. What better way to Christmas shop.

• Fantastic! 24 January, 2007
Indian Captive was probly one of THE best books I have ever read. The story line was great and had many supporting details. As a summary the book is about a girl who's family gets attacked by Indians and she was kept as a captive. Molly has to learn the way of the indians. Sometimes she got so homesick, She even attempted to run away. She made a hard decision in the near end. The big question of who will she choose to live with?
So read the book! It has so much more to it.
I promise to you that you will find this book amazing. I give it a positive 100%. SO what are you waiting for hurry and read it!
