Summary
Summary
Danny Bigtree’s family has moved to a new city, and no matter how hard he tries, Danny can’t seem to fit in. He’s homesick for the Mohawk reservation where he used to live, and the kids in his class call him “Chief” and tease him about being an Indian—the thing that makes Danny most proud. Can he find the courage to stand up for himself?Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This appealing portrayal of a strong family offers an unromanticized
view of Native American culture, and a history lesson about the Iroquois
Confederacy; it also gives a subtle lesson in the meaning of daily
courage.” —Publishers Weekly
“This timely story should offer much to young listeners, particularly those who feel lost or left out.” —AudioFile
“With so many Native American stories set in the
misty past, it’s great to read a children’s book about an Iroquois boy
who lives in the city now…The purposive information and message are
lightened by family jokes that mock solemn Hollywood stereotypes…and show the loving intimacy between people who can tease
each other and laugh together.” —Booklist
“A worthy, well-written novella.” —Kirkus Reviews
