Bookroo's summary
Ohkwa'ri, a young Mohawk boy, faces danger after exposing a planned raid. His decision earns him enemies, especially Grabber, who seeks revenge during the village's lacrosse game. As tensions rise, Ohkwa'ri must navigate the path of peace amidst threats and hostility. Can his commitment to nonviolence withstand Grabber's relentless pursuit? This tale unfolds against the rich backdrop of Native American life, where every choice could alter the course of the future. Will Ohkwa'ri's peaceful resolve be enough to protect him and his community?
From the publisher
When Ohkwa’ri overhears a group of older boys planning a raid on a neighboring village, he immediately tells his Mohawk elders. He has done the right thing–but he has also made enemies. Grabber and his friends will do anything they can to hurt him, especially during the village-wide game of Tekwaarathon (lacrosse). Ohkwa’ri believes in the path of peace, but can peaceful ways work against Grabber’s wrath?”An exciting story that also offers an in-depth look at Native American life centuries ago.” –Kirkus Reviews
