[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Ketchum, Liza. Where the great hawk flies. Clarion, 2005 [0-618-40085-0]
This is the story of 18th century Vermont.  The book opens a couple of years
after an Indian raid on the town in which many people were killed and
carried off to Canada.  Daniel Tucker's father is of British descent while
his mother a Pequot Indian (a different tribe than the raiders)  and he
takes after his mom.  A neighbor moves in next door who had family members
who were victims of the early Indian raid.  Hiram is a boy from new family.
This 259 page book tells of prejudice in  early America.  Can Daniel and
Hiram become  friends?  Will their  families learn to live near each other?
Will the arrival of Daniel's mother's father aggravate the situation? There
are historical notes in the back of the book explaining that this story is
based on the actual family history of the author.
