(3) YA In 1704, the Mohawk attacked the Puritan settlement of Deerfield, Massachusetts, taking eleven-year-old Mercy Carter and over one hundred other settlers captive--forcing them to trudge three hundred miles to Canada. Cooney constructs a suspenseful story for Mercy, who must decide whether to remember her former life and family or to "set them down" and embrace her new life as a Mohawk.
