Arrow Over the Door (Puffin Chapters)

Good lessons for my grandchildren to learn about peace and goodwill between cultures during tumultuous times. Perhaps we need a broken arrow over the capitol building to remind all who enter to work together in peaceful negotiation for the good of all Americans. Red, brown yellow, black or white; we become strong when we combine forces and fail when we are divided.

I really like historical fiction so this was just my thing when looking for a book for a piece of early American history. I am reading it to my 8 year old great-granddaughter as part of her homeschool Social Studies. It's a good starting point for many discussions. Some of the words are beyond her so she is stretched and learns new vocabulary. Only con - it ends too soon.

Another wonderful book by Joseph Bruchac. I've read a number of his books and attended several storytelling events that featured Joe & Jesse Bruchac. On top of being talented storytellers and musicians, these two gentlemen are absolutely wonderful people. I highly recommend anything they publish as being accurate, interesting and entertaining to all ages.

My kids and I enjoyed this story. Great historical fiction reading that we used with Tapestry of Grace curriculum this school year. It was a quick read.

I would recommend book to all teachers. The book shipped very quickly so I could add to my classroom library. The book was in great shape. :)

My students really loved it. It makes you think about what would have happened if people tried up work together.

We really enjoyed reading this together for our home school literature time. It was good to get another view of Friends and Indians and the Revolutionary War.

it was great all around
