A tale of the European colonisation of Massachusetts from the Indians' point of view. In the winter of his eleventh year, Little Hawk goes deep into the forest, where he must endure a three-month test of solitude and survival, which will turn him into a man. At the end of winter, Little Hawk returns to find his village decimated by a white man's plague. Soon, despite a fresh start, Little Hawk dies violently but his spirit remains trapped, witnessing how his world changes. This is a story of adventure and friendship between a young Native American and a colonial New England settler.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 are not 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. This book also includes a timeline and an author's note that discusses the historical context of this novel.
