No matter how hard he tries, Walnut doesn’t see as well as others do. So when he and the other boys of his tribe must prove they’re ready to be adults by the accuracy of their arrow shooting, Walnut’s worried. How can he hit a target that he can’t even see? But at the ceremony, the boys are first asked to listen to the woods and “see” what can’t be seen. With the practiced use of his other senses, Walnut earns the respect of his people, as well as his adult name: Sees Behind Trees. In turns lyrical, wise, and funny, this compelling novel, set in sixteenth-century America, tells the story of how one boy learns to turn a handicap into an advantage as he crosses the often blurred boundaries between being a child and becoming a man.
Michael Dorris is the best-selling author of several acclaimed books for both adults and children, including Morning Girl, winner of the Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction, and Guests, an ALA Notable Children’s Book.
