Broken Trail

Summary: "At age thirteen, Broken Trail is ready to become a warrior. Captured and adopted by the Oneida people in the midst of the war between the British and Americans when he was a child, he has refused his white name, forced himself to forget his birth family, and he avoids speaking English. He now considers himself to be Oneida. But everything changes when Broken Trail, alone in the woods on his vision quest, is mistakenly shot by a redcoat soldier. He is taken to the soldier's camp and then sent south on a mission to deliver a message that could save many lives. Narrowly escaping being slaughtered in the Battle of Kings Mountain, Broken Trail finds his long-lost brother was not so lucky - he was fighting for the British, and has been captured by the rebels. Broken Trail knows he must try to rescue him, but a choice msut be made: do his loyalities lie with his brother, or with the First Nations who offer him the chance to become a warrior? And with his knowledge of both ways of life, can Broken Trail find a way forward that will benefit both peoples?"--Back cover
