Apache by Tanya Landman
 

I thought Apache was an amazing read based on real life. The story is told through the eyes of a girl warrior. This is a very moving and powerful book.

I thought that this book was really good. It had a good story line and made you want to keep reading. Best book so far out of the Highland Book Awards.

This book has to win!! I don't read an awful lot but this book kept me hooked from start to finish with the harrowing tales of Siki. Tanya Landman is a fantastic author and it shows really well in this book. She uses wording of the Apache tribe and has captured their ways well. I have never read such an interesting, inspirational book in my life and am keen to find another book like this and I sincerely hope there is a follow up on the life of Siki, the Black mountain Apache tribe, her father and her unborn child. I would recommend this book to anyone over 12 who wants a fantastic read. Let her WIN!!

The book was very well written with an exciting plot and interesting, realistic characters. The settings are described in great detail and it is clear that the writer has done a lot of research. The only thing that bothered me about the book was that it ended very abruptly and it was sort of like “Where's the last chapter?”



HW, Culloden Academy


It was really good and exciting although I did guess some of the plot line. I think the author killed off too many characters but overall it was a brilliant book.



Susannah, Millburn Academy


It was brilliant!! I could hardly put it down.



Alice, Invergordon Academy


I liked the book because I thought it was funny a parts and sad at parts and it was mixed emotions and I didn’t like it because when Shara went to hell..

I loved this book. It is an amazing book with sadness, joy and great courage all from a girl warrior.



Heather, Portree High


It was a great book that really drew you in.  Once I started reading I could not stop.



Finlay, Kinguissie High


It was a FANTASTIC book, one I could read over and over again.  At the beginning I was a bit confused as to what was going on but halfway through Apache I could hardly put it down 10/10!!!!"



Ellie M, Fortrose Academy


The storyline and characters were fantastic!



Laura, Millburn Academy


The book was good because there was lots of action but eventually got interesting when the plot completely changes twice. The book wants to make you keep on reading.
