It won the 1953 Newbery Medal. Plot summaryCusi, a modern Inca boy, leaves his home high in the Andes mountains to learn the mysterious secret of his ancient ancestors. Accompanied by his pet llama, Misti, he slowly discovers the truth about his birth and his people's ancient glory. Now he must prove himself worthy to be entrusted with the fabulous secret from the past.[1] Historical accuracySecret of the Andes is historical fiction. Some events were inspired by real events in history. In reality, the Inca King (Ataulpa) at one time was held for ransom by the Spaniards. However, llamas were not a part of the ransom, and the form of the gold was primarily solid, not gold dust. [2]ThemesThemes of Secret of the Andes include racial identity, preservation of historical cultures, adoption, animal guides, royal lineage, and the Spanish conquest and betrayal of the Incan Empire. Newbery MedalE. B. White's Charlotte's Web was a runner-up for the Newbery Medal the year Secret of the Andes won the award.[3] According to a 2008 article by children's literature expert Anita Silvey in the School Library Journal, one member of the Newbery committee stated that she voted for Secret of the Andes rather than Charlotte's Web "because she hadn't seen any good books about South America." Silvey further commented, "The Secret of the Andes is a good book; Charlotte's Web, the best."[4]References1. ^{{Cite book|title=Secret of the Andes|last=Clark|first=Ann|publisher=Puffin|year=1976|isbn=0140309268|location=|pages=Opening Text|quote=|via=}} {{Portal |Children's literature}}{{s-start}}{{s-ach|aw}}{{succession box|title=Newbery Medal recipient|before=Ginger Pye|after=...And Now Miguel|years=1953}}{{s-end}}{{1950s-child-novel-stub}}2. ^{{Cite book|title=The Conquistadors|last=Innes|first=Hammond|publisher=HarperCollins|year=1969|isbn=0002111454|location=|pages=|quote=|via=}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Strauss|first=Valerie|title=Critics Say Newbery-Winning Books Are Too Challenging for Young Readers|work=The Washington Post|date=December 16, 2008|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/15/AR2008121503293.html|accessdate=April 2, 2012}} 4. ^{{cite journal|url=http://www.slj.com/2008/10/industry-news/has-the-newbery-lost-its-way/|title=Has the Newbery Lost Its Way?|journal=School Library Journal|first=Anita|last=Silvey|authorlink=Anita Silvey|date=October 1, 2008|accessdate=January 4, 2017}} 7 : Newbery Medal-winning works|1952 American novels|American children's novels|Novels set in Peru|Viking Press books|Children's historical novels|1952 children's books |
