Helpful Score: 1
An excellent historical novel based solidly on facts unearthed by history detective Kathleen Karr. Written for readers from middle school through those adults who realize youth books can be very interesting. Storyline: 15 year old Christopher comes with his family as part of the brae colonists who came from England to be the first to arrive in the Carolinas. They are welcomed by the Sewee Indians, especially by 15 year old brave Asha-po. Many adventures, much learning about each other, and a plot that carefully leads you into an almost unbelievable ending (based solidly in fact) makes this book a good read and a valuable learning experience.
