A friendship between a young Native American and a colonial New
England settler endangers them both in this "simply unforgettable"
("Booklist," starred review) adventure story from Newbery Medalist
Susan Cooper.
On the winter day Little Hawk is sent into the woods alone, he can
take only a bow and arrows, his handcrafted tomahawk, and the
amazing metal knife his father traded for with the new white
settlers. If Little Hawk survives three moons by himself, he will
be a man.
John Wakely is only ten when his father dies, but he has already
experienced the warmth and friendship of the nearby tribes. Yet his
fellow colonists aren't as accepting of the native people. When he
is apprenticed to a barrel-maker, John sees how quickly the
relationships between settlers and natives are deteriorating. His
friendship with Little Hawk will put both boys in grave danger.
The intertwining stories of Little Hawk and John Wakely are a
fascinating tale of friendship and an eye-opening look at the
history of our nation. Newbery Medalist Susan Cooper also includes
a timeline and an author's note that discusses the historical
context of this important and moving novel.
