Secret of the Andes

As you can see, I just got done answering some questions about chromosones and stuff.

I am now reading Secret of the Andes in my reading group. I'm like, 2 chapters behind Meredith and Teresa. At first it was pretty boring, then it started getting a little interesting.

Summary:

Cusi, a modern descendent of the ancient Incas, leaves his home in the Andes mountains to learn about his ancestors. Accompanied by his pet llama, Misti, Cusi discovers the truth about his people's history, and then must find a way to prove himself worthy of their noble legacy. Winner of the 1953 Newbery Medal.
