Description
Sixth-grader Chris Nicola lives on an Indian reservation where the issue of casino gambling has divided the people--and endangered the island that is Chris's special place. When a school project on using Indian names for sports teams puts Chris in the spotlight, he finds himself taking his first steps toward leadership. But can one kid really make a difference? Joseph Bruchac is the award-winning author of over fifty books for adults and children, many of which draw on the Abenaki Indian culture that is part of his heritage. He chose a fictional setting for this story, based on his writing and storytelling workshops with Native American children on reservations throughout North America. - from Amzon
