Twelve-year-old Minuk is intrigued by the Hoffs, the American missionary family that has moved into her village. Although she has seen white men before, Minuk has never seen a white woman--or a white child. It soon becomes clear that although the Hoffs can speak the Yup'ik language, they don't understand Yup'ik ways. When Mr. Hoff begins interfering with village ceremonies, even Minuk wonders why the missionary is so sure his ways are better than Yup'ik ways.

Criticize Of Books Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway (Girls of Many Lands)

This book was okay, there wasn't really anything entertaining and there was no action in this book, just like talking about what stuff means in Yu' pik and it just kind of got boring.

12-year-old Minuk's traditional Eskimo way of life is changed forever in 1892 with the arrival of Christian missionaries (and the flu).

I thought this was surprisingly well written and dark for an American Girl book. (Disclosure: I've never actually read any others-- I picked it up out of curiosity because my 11 year old got it as a Christmas present from a friend-- so perhaps they are not as bad as I imagined.) Very educational, as well. The characters are a bit flat but overall an interesting vision of what happens when two flawed cultures come into contact with each other. The twelve-year-old Native Alaskan protagonist is

I loved this book as a kid - I thought the historical information was fascinating and Minuk's tale left me in tears. Some others mentioned it may be too harsh for kids, but I didn't feel it was like that at all. It was a glimpse into history, and I was used to reading books that dealt with harsh subjects. I wish I'd gotten my hands on the other Girls of Many Lands books before they stopped selling them.

I just reread this book and like it better than before. Minuk is the type of person who knows when to do what's right and how to make the most out of it. She is a great role model.

I found this book to be sorely depressing and sad; I hadn't expected it to be so sad. Though a good, historically accurate, and well-researched book, I was very sad about the endings of it.

This story takes place in 1890 in Alaska and is about a young Eskimo girl named Minuk.How you feel about this book will be shaped very strongly by your own religious views. If you are of the school that holds that the Christian God is the only one acceptable and the Bible is the only way acceptable, then you will agree with what happens to the Eskimos in this novel.If you are a person who does not hold those views, but holds somewhat of a more widespread religious orientation, then the events in
