If there was ever a time to write a novel that encompasses the Iroquois legends of the Peacemaker, this is it for our generation. The book overlays a fairly simple plot (two boys separated by war) with a tapestry of story: both illustrating the role of learning from stories in Native culture, and allowing the main character time and space to work through his anger and grief. Beautifully written, sensitively delivered, and offering a message of hope to everyone, but especially people battered by trauma and sorrow.

This was a book I read for a curriculum adoption process. The beginning was a little choppy for me, but it eventually settled into a nice, easy, ebb and flow. I think the students who will read this for their social studies class will relate to it. It's an own voices/historical fiction story and I think the themes of friendship, grieving, overcoming hardships, and dealing with emotions will be something that all readers will find relatable. ( )

RGG: Quiet, short fictionalized history of the forming of the Iroquois Great League of Peace. The interweaving of the Native mythology and customs and culture. is very interesting. Reading Interest: 10-13

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

A lyrical and timely book that weaves together a story of personal sadness and community hope. Even though the text is not one of non-stop action, the storytelling drives you forward. I read the whole thing in one sitting! Although there is a main character, he is the lens through which we see things but the focus is not on him. I appreciated that. He is most definitely a likeable character and even on reflection I would love to see more stories with him, especially the lovely dynamic with his friends. But there is not the heaviness that so many stories for children carry now. A story of redemption and kinship that will resonate with many. ( )
