About the Book

Fatherless Cody LeBeau is an American Indian boy who is starting high school with the usual trepidation. He fits into none of the cliques at the new school, but somehow keeps being noticed anyway--and is often teased because of his tendency to stutter. Then his Uncle Pat, an accomplished martial arts sensei, moves into the town and becomes the one who shows Cody the way through the maze of adolescent doubt and into manhood.

About the Author :
Joseph Bruchac was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, and grew up in the Adirondack foothills. He began to take an interest in his Abenaki heritage when he was a teenager. Mr. Bruchac has written many books, poems, plays, and short stories--most of which include tales, characters, and teachings from his Native American roots. Performing as a storyteller allows him another way to preserve his Abenaki culture.

Review :
"Cody LeBeau, a high school freshman, lives with his mother in a trailer on his tribe's reservation. His father rarely visits. Cody, bullied at school, considers himself a 'screw-up' and escapes into dreams of heroic achievement as a martial arts warrior. His life changes when his uncle shows up. Poor in material possessions but with a rich spiritual life as a follower of the Zen-like 'Way, ' Uncle John, a martial arts master, has come for a ten-week visit to practice for a tournament. To thank Cody's mother for allowing him to pitch his tent beside the trailer, he helps out and teaches Cody martial arts. Cody, impa-tient at first, gradually comes to understand the 'Way.' His newly acquired skills boost his confidence and are reflected in his demeanor, so much so that he ceases to be a bullying target. His understanding of the 'Way' also helps him to feel compassion for a former tormentor (who is abused at home) as well as for the school 'loser, ' whom Cody discovers hangs out with the bully. When Cody finds the pair preparing to unleash a Columbine-type attack, he must use all his newfound confidence and skill to prevent a bloodbath. Bruchac's descriptions of martial arts' mental and physical practices have the ring of authenticity. They will appeal to young teens interested in the subject--or in modern Indian life as all characters are Native Americans--but the story line is apt to feel too simplistic and predictable for a sophisticated reader." --VOYA
