INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Bruchac, Joseph

Bearwalker

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sally Wern Comport. Horror motifs mingle with traditional Mohawk legends in this fast-paced, spine-tingling tale of a misfit thirteen-year-old and a vengeful maniac. Baron Braun feels friendless and bullied until the opportunity to use his vast knowledge of bears and his (more limited) outdoorsmanship enable him to save his classmates and a wilderness preserve. Bruchac's development of contemporary Native American identity issues adds heft.
