- Summary:
- "The Philippines, 1904. Sixteen-year-old Luki is the best hunter in her village, but she has to keep it a secret. Hunting is a man's skill. She's expected to marry and raise a family instead. Chafing against these restrictions, she impulsively accepted an offer from the local American authorities: they're looking for volunteers to travel to the United States for the World's Fair, where Indigenous peoples from around the world will be represented. Luki and others make the long journey to Saint Louis, Missouri, for the fair. But even as Luki makes friends and discovers a wider world that intrigues her, she learns dangerous secrets and difficult truths. Facing pressures from all sides, she must decide what kind of future she wants after the fair" -- Jacket flap.
