Bookroo's summary

In 'Thunder from the Clear Sky,' a Wampanoag brave and a Pilgrim settler narrate the meeting of their worlds. As the Plymouth colony takes root, cultural clashes and alliances unfold. Can these two groups find common ground, or will their differences lead to conflict? Discover the challenges and surprises when two distinct ways of life intersect in this vivid historical tale.

From the publisher

Sewall wrote about the settlement of the Plymouth colony in The Pilgrims of Plimoth and about the daily life of the Wampanoag Indians in People of the Breaking Day. This new book illustrates what happened when these two people met. Told by a Wampanoag brave and a Pilgrim settler, Thunder from the Clear Sky shows two cultures with very different views of life.
