Annie and the Old One 1972 Honor Book *****


Annie and the Old One is about a Native American girl who thinks she can slow down Father Time and delay her grandmother's death.

I think this was the first Newbery I ever read. My father brought it home after a trip to Northern New Mexico. I loved the story and learning about Native Americans and their beliefs and legends. He also brought home another book Hawk, You are My Brother which is also a great book.
