Brian Burks's Wrango was recently awarded the Western Writers of America Spur Award for Best Western Juvenile Fiction. He lives in Tularosa, New Mexico. Her father died when she was about 2. The White Eyes attack her tribe and kill her mother. Later in the story Walks Alone's brother, Sleeps In A Bush, dies too. How Sad! Walks Alone spends the entire time working to get back home to her family, and in the end she doesn't get what wants. The ending to this book is super sad and pointless. The novel tells you about life back then, but the storyline is awful.
