YA
Troubled by bullies at school, Cody gets some help when a hitherto undisclosed uncle comes to town and starts giving him lessons in "The Way," a rather ponderous program of martial arts training and Native American wisdom. Although the story is diffuse and predictable, it has a lot of boy-friendly elements and, in Cody, a likable portrait of a contemporary Indian kid.
