Publisher's Summary
This exciting historical novel tells the story of a 12-year-old Chumash boy and his family who become captives in a California Spanish mission more than 200 years ago. This is historical fiction based entirely on historical fact that reveals the devastating impact colonization had on California Native peoples.
Written for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders, the story ends on a hopeful note as a small group of Native children are able to escape their captors and begin a journey to join other Native escapees in a remote mountain village. The book has been reviewed and approved by the Director of the Santa Ynez Chumash Culture Department and Chumash Elders Committee. It has the endorsement of dozens of parents, educators, and listeners.
