(3) YA Ripe for study in history or literature classes, this hard-hitting account of fictional sixteen-year-old Noah's involvement in the horrifically bloody Battle of Minisink alternates focus between the battle and its aftermath. Questions concerning duty, vengeance, human kindness, and war's futility arise naturally as Noah tends to a mortally wounded Mohawk teen--an enemy. Mann's characters are nuanced and well defined, despite the book's brevity. Biographical notes appended. Bib.
