Book Description:
Clan fighting over a powerful totemic mask has brought the Mound Builder people of the Great Lakes region to the edge of destruction. It is up to Star Shell, daughter of a Hopewell chief, to rid her people of this curse. Along with her companions: Otter, a trader; Pearl, a runaway; and Green Spider, either prophet or madman, she braves the stormy waters of the lakes to reach the majestic waterfall known as Roaring Water. She is determined to banish the mask forever to a watery grave.

But vengeful clan members are close on her heels, and they have a similar fate planned for her.

I have read at least 10 books by the Gears and this is the best. Incredible characterizations, engaging story and best of all, marvelous humor. Extremely funny well-written book.

Sixth of the great anthropologically based series beginning with the settlement of the epi- glacial North American Continent and visiting tribal peoples over the next few thousand years. I loved them all.

This book provides a realistic insight into the prehistoric world as it was, and does so with a gripping intensity, and marrative drive that will please any reader of any genre. Don't miss it. It is a good story.

I have read all the books in the series and found this one to be the best. It is a thick book but it will capture your attention and you won't notice how many pages you've read. It was interesting to see how Star Shell would reach her objective and I especially liked the characters Otter and Pearl. Five stars for this one!
