Children of the Longhouse

Set during the late 1400s, this title tells the story of eleven-year-old Ohkwa'ri and his twin sister who must endeavour to make peace with a hostile gang of older boys in their Mohawk village. 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
