Sees Behind Trees

Description

This beautiful coming-of-age story captures one young Powhatan boy's road to truly finding himself. No matter how hard he tries, nearsighted Walnut just can't earn his adult name the way other boys do, by hitting a target with a bow and arrow. With his highly developed other senses, however, he shows he can "see what can't be seen" and earns a new name: Sees Behind Trees. But his special skill proves to be more important than he'd ever imagined when is invited to go on a journey to a mysterious land, a trek filled with unforeseen challenges and dangers. Told with heart, this is a lyrical novel about an Indigenous boy searching for his place amongst his community. ★ "Set in 16th century America, this richly imagined and gorgeously written rite-of-passage story has the gravity of legend." -- Booklist, starred A School Library Journal Best Book A Publishers Weekly Best Book A Book Links Best Book Review Citations: Ingram Advance 06/01/1999 pg. 51 (EAN 9780786813575, Paperback) Ingram Children's Advance 06/01/1999 pg. 66 (EAN 9780786813575, Paperback) Wilson Children's Catalog 04/11/2019 (EAN 9780786813575, Paperback) Wilson Middle/Jr. High Catalog 04/11/2019 (EAN 9780786813575, Paperback) Booklist 09/15/1996 pg. 239 (EAN 9780786822157, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Kirkus Review - Children 09/15/1996 pg.
