"This very short novel is read in junior high English classes, deservedly, because the novel is engaging, but also full of issues that kids understand: alienation, moral dilemma-choices, family issues. The plot revolves a colonial boy kidnapped, then raised, by native Americans who, because of treaty obligations, must return to his real family, but who feels only tied to his native American family and culture. Excellent book."
"Considering this book was written in the 50's when the government was still doing the enforced boarding school thing and their big relocation project to "civilize" native people, this book was surprisingly fair. I really expected it to be very bigoted, but it treated both sides honestly and fairly. I also felt that it handled very well the serious conflict of being part of two societies and thus truly belonging to neither. Emotionally, this was a difficult book to read."
"This book is about a teenage white boy who was captured and adopted by some Native Americans. Though white, he is considered part of the tribe. Then, he is taken back to live with the parents who he doesn't remember or love. He love the Indian life and doesn't want to live with his real parents."
"I don't know why I thought of this book. I had to read it in 7th grade and I just remember hating it. It had plenty of things I should have liked in it, but, no dice. So if you ever find yourself in 7th grade and your teacher wants you to read it, consider transferring."
