Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I was eight, I read this book for the first time. I read Knee-Deep in Thunder at least twice a year for the next ten years. Then the library closed down and sold off all their books. I don't know where this book went, but I missed it. For two years.
Majesty, tragedy, myth, beauty, friendship and the eternal human search for meaning in a world gone mad power this book with an energy that I've never found elsewhere.
A cast of bugs, accompanied by two ragtag young people, shouldn't feel as real as this does, but each character somehow rings true. If you have not read this book, you are missings out on a real experience.

In service Maris finds danger, absurdity, joy, deep friendship. What happens in the Great Land may be a paradigm for what couldhappen on earth. "If it is done with courage it leads a heart home."First published over 20 years ago by Atheneum Press, Knee Deep inThunder and Hunt Down the Prize have been reprinted now together with thefirst printing of Deepest Roots. This first book in the trilogy begins Maris'adventures informed by Navajo mythology and a deep stream of age-old wisdom;but her problems and questions all belong to today. Originally written foryoung people, for whom Sheila Moon had a special interest, this trilogy willcapture the imagination and enliven journeys of most adults.
