Light in the Forest
In this book a white boy is kidnapped by Indians when he was about 1 years old, the Indians take him back to his tribe with many others that they took. A Indian man who was called Cyhoke took the little boy and renamed him True Son. Many years later A army of white men come and demand the return of True Son and the others that had been kidnapped. The Indians give them back in fear for their people. True Son goes back to England and meets his real family. In disappointment and sadness for leaving Cyhoke he runs away back to his Indian tribe. When he finally gets back to his tribe they plan a attack on the next boat that comes in full of white people. At first True Son thinks that this is a great and wonderful Idea, but the day of the attack he sees the boat and his white brother is on board. In fear that he would get hurt True Son stops the whole attack and tells the boat to turn around and go back. When True Son returns to his tribe they all want to kill him and set him in the fire. Cyhoke loved him so much that he convinced the leader of the tribe to let True Son go. Cyhoke talks to True Son and tells him that he can never com back. With no home for True Son he is on his own. Now go like an Indian, True Son. Give me no more shame. I did not love this book but i still thought that it was a good book, what i liked about it is that there was action in it and in some of the parts you stop and think what is going to happen next? I would recommend this book to those who are interested in Indians or to people who have to do a report on Whites and Indians.

It would be hard to be caught between two worlds like the boy in this story. It's good to read stories that show both sides; there is good and bad in every race or culture.
ReplyDeleteI tried to read this book, but got bored and distracted. It sounds like I should check this one out. Hopefully I will be more interested this time. :)
